Clever,
Part of the problem is that people don’t prioritize tuition, forcing scholarship committees to ask for more and more information.
The adage was always “buy a house before your kids are in school otherewise you won’t be able to afford it since all your money is going to tuition.”
People increase their standard of living or buy more house than they can afford or decide their wife has to be a SAHM or their husband has to learn in Kollel or they have to support their SIL in Kollel or they have to eat chicken every night – heaven forbid they eat beans…tuition comes almost last.
People don’t save up for tuition in thier earning years before school. People don’t understand how much tuition costs as a young family until it hits them squarely in the nose.
