Reply To: Working parent letter: two implementable ideas I posted

Avhaben: I would amend your statement to say full tuition to the BEST of their ability. The system as it stands cannot work anymore.

In NY to meet full tuition payment usually both parents are working and the necessary income level is 3x’s that of the average American family.(Outside of Brooklyn and Lakewood you are looking at a starting asking price between 10-15k per kid.)

We must view the relationship between parents and our Yeshivas much more then a creditor/debtor situation (as I am sure you do). With the exorbitant cost of tuition and current economic climate full tuition is very hard and currently out of reach for many.I guarantee if people had they would definitely fargin the Yeshivas to charge as much as they want.

May Hashem answer all those in need and answer ALL our tefillos today!
