gavra,
You seem to be knowledgeable about how far one is required to go in order to pay full tuition. I am not trying to pick a fight here, I am just curious about the p’sak you were given. Heat is one thing, but is one supposed to go without gas/electric? What if one is c’v in danger of losing their home? Who gets first, the school or the bank?
I was not stating my opinion here.
