RK: The third rail of Orthodox Jewish politics is the family size debate… you touch it, and you get killed. You will simply never get traction advocating that the Jewish community should promote limited family sizes, even if that was a _factually_ correct position versus just an opinion. There are a variety of reasons for that, some more valid than others, but it’s just how it is, and I doubt it’ll ever change.
Besides, putting on my conjecture hat for a moment, there are smaller families sending their kids of places like MJBHA, yet their tuition is way higher than, say, TA’s. Sure, MJBHA has a far nicer facility, but linking family size and tuition costs is a tricky thing…
My own thoughts, is that every parent should be responsible
for paying their own children tuition costs.
If they cant afford to do so, they need to look at other options such
as in-home schooling. If A family wants to donate money to the school that would be a mitzvah that they are doing, but to force them to pay for another student education is wrong.
We might have to go back to basics, Where the teacher and the student is the center of the educational system and not the Admin. Why not have a classroom size of 20 kids. Each student pays $4000, dollars.
That would bring in $80,000 dollars a year. Pay the teacher $50,000 dollars a year ;for 10 months of work is not a horrible salary , and include in their pay some admin responsibilities.. With the other $30,000. Use that for rent of space, no more big campus, just have enough space to fit the need. What you do with the rest of the money, im sure we could come up with options.
