Do you really believe that? And even so, perhaps the families in Chinuch are mechuyav to walk into Wal Mart (or any other hiring store) and get money to pay their tuition. (I assume unemployed are already trying) Perhaps they (both) are Chayiv to work nights & weekends, or give up their free summers, tutor, have their wife or children work, etc. Did they ask a Shaila?
Perhaps they are chayiv to give up food, or at least certain types, as I have already pointed out. Maybe they are Chayiv sell their silver (if they have any), or move into a smaller apartment, and give the money to the school. That’s why the question is being asked.
mepal: If you knew this already, why didn’t you say so in the first place! Then no one would have worried about it, and we would have known it was just a bluff to raise funds (sounds Assur, but what do I know, I’m not a Posek:). I certainly don’t have (or want) to think about it. It depresses me to think of all the people who expect me (or those like me, who are working) to support them.
