Firstly, everything is up to the RBSO.
After that, Hishtadluswise, I wonder if there’s any way out of this other than turning back the clock and encouraging secular education. As bad as the economy is, and despite many being unemployed even with education, those who have an education, by and large have a better chance of getting back on their feet (outside of those who were either born to very wealthy families and those very few who “made it” on their own with no education).
How else can parents in the 5 Towns etc support their schools with three times as costly tuitions? A community cant afford to support a school if most are in Kollel and those who arent, are undereducated and dont have access to good jobs and have to beg for huge tuition breaks. This was the case even before the economy took a nosedive.
