Midwesterner- if you experienced it firsthand i won’t argue it. Although i would more likely believe that it happened in the reverse, tuition remains high because people can’t pay, as opposed to being a lichatchila.
The second part, besides making my pulse quicken, is also sad. This distortion seems to be so present in a certain demographic, as expected, but im finding too many of them who 10 years later can’t seem to let go. It breaks my heart really.
