Azoiy:
You addressed parents “paying tuition on time”. I do hear you. The yeshiva/school is expected to make weekly or bi-weekly payroll. However, not all the parents you speak of have employment that brings in regular, steady income. There are many whose work has significant seasonal variation, and there are times when the money comes in nicely plus other times when it slows to a trickle. These parents are not withholding. Nor is it fair to accuse them of making other priorities (which is a known problem). I know many such parents, and they never end a school year with an outstanding balance. But their tuition payments cannot follow a schedule to accommodate weekly or biweekly payroll.
I would expect that there is administration that understands this. It is possible to work with parents whose income is adequate but irregular. Some yeshivos do that. I am aware of a few who make such agreements with the parents that will tolerate this situation, but then renege on that commitment, sending nasty letters, withholding report cards, and other consequences. I agree that parents can be part of the solution, but there are many exceptions. hence, don’t build a solution around the parent factor.
Common Sense:
You wrote: “P.S. I always met my commitments for tuition bills even when my wife lost her job. Other parents can do it.” Are you for real? You have no idea who I am, what my employment status is, no clue about my expenses, other earners in my home, but your ability to meet your commitments means that I can do the same? Sorry, but that comment is pure silliness. I do hope your wife found another job, and even that you got a raise in your salary. But your financial status will never translate into that of anyone else. Do you really believe what you said?
