If a person (or family) want to make the sacrifice for Torah, because they know that to be the Ikar, who has the right to tell them not to, because he isn’t “the best or brightest”. We all have different levels and different nissyonos. I don’t need some guy in a hat and beard deciding whose Torah is more valuable.
If he is relying on my money to sit and learn, don’t I get some sort of say? Won’t my tuition go up to cover the costs that he cannot? Won’t my taxes go up if he is on government subsidies?
