popa_bar_abba: “because then the non-frum people will bear their portion of the whole burden, instead of making us share their burden but not sharing ours.” – Good point. However, I recall hearing/reading somewhere that every child is entitled to free schooling. If you choose to go to a private school, that’s your choice, not the city/state’s burden. The city/state pays approx $18,000 per child in public school. I think i read this in an ad to vote from a candidate saying that he will push to get half of the tuition paid for a public school child, to be paid per child in a private school.
Can you imagine? If this was really true and if this came true, howmuch that would help the yeshivas and the parents too?!
Alas its a wonderful dream, but even if it were to come true, that probably wouldnt happen until my grandchildren were born…which is good too!
