Bais Rochel is the Nachshon of schools to raise tuition on struggling parents by thousands of dollars. Please list the schools that follow.
ReplyDeleteOn struggling parents? There is clearly a large class of people in this town/s that have a ton of money. Just look at Meatboards the prices are outrageous people don't blink. The expensive takeout the wine stores people are spending like it's water.. What do you expect to happen when an apartment will cost you 20k a year a salary for the teacher has to double food, gas how can one business possibly stay afloat at this record inflation?
DeleteI'm not sure where you live but it's becoming impossible to find or retain top teachers in Lakewood. Lakewood has become the business capital of the frum world and women's salaries are sky high in Lakewood in office jobs. Lakewood tuitions have been lower than NY ,Baltimore etc but with teachers leaving the field unless they get big increases,what do you want schools to do ? its either hire incompetent teachers or pay much higher salaries for teachers,secretaries and support staff .
ReplyDeleteA-1
DeleteThe current tuition covers established schools budgets, with many dollars in surplus. This is fact.
DeleteThe school owners will not admit it. But all you need is to speak to some people on the inside, and more importantly a calculator.
Do the math: You tell me the size of the surplus..
As in thebilden days schools need to fundraise. That's how schools function not by raising tuition from parents that can't afford what they're currently being charged!!
ReplyDeleteIts time that the mosdos that are funded by the public open the books to the public.
ReplyDeleteWhat do they have to hide?
every 15 girls and 22 boys tuition cover the class expenses
DeleteWhat many don't realize is the class sizes in Lakewood is much more than in other places, with classes packed to capacity, approx. 30 per class. That is what brings up the income of the school. Also there used to be deductions for siblings which now has become less and less, also staff children getting free tuition is in many schools limited to one child.
ReplyDeleteThe raise in tuition is NOT going to salaries unfortunately. I asked. If it was I wouldn't be so bothered...
ReplyDeleteGive any owner of a girls' school a few Lechaims and he will admit to you that with less than 20 girls in a class, he has broken even. Any children more than that, is profit for him.
ReplyDeleteAnd this was before the millions that they made from Covid, including PPP, food boxes and other programs.
Don't believe this phony teachers crisis. It is a way for school owners to relieve themselves (pun intended) of the responsibility.
This is not only 100 percent true, but I'm sorry to say its allot worse then that.
DeletePeople are starting to question where the extra money that the schools are bringing is going
