artchill- you forgot about a few things. In a school there are other expenses besides teachers. What about gas, water, mortgage/rent, electricity costs? Costs: chalk, board markers, desks and chairs, books (even second hand it adds up. If the students are required to buy their own, then there are still the teacher’s edition and copy to think about), light bulbs, pens for the office, paper… the list goes on and on- and these are the bare bones! what about if there is a plumbing or sewage problem? You wouldnt want your child to be in a school without a working sink or bathroom. what if there were other basic issues with the building? a leaky roof? electrical issues? They need a better accountant if tuition isnt covering the costs but how much is this “bare bones tuition”? It must include all of the above…
