A) Not sure about your childs school, but we do get a letter a few times a year for fundraising. Raffle by Chanuka, dinner in the winter, gifts for the rebbiem/teachers for yom tovim, etc.
B) Schools should be more transparent with their financing.
C) No one is saying that it doesnt takes mesiras nefesh and stress to run a school. But you know what also takes stress and mesiras nefesh? Running fiances for your family. Especially during a global pandemic when people are suffering financially. Just like we should acknowledge our schools mesiras nefesh (which the school gently reminds us a few times a year) here in an unprecedented situation, where the schools are probably getting funding, it would be nice from them to acknowledge us as well.
I don't like saying this, but you obviously don't begin to know a thing about the inside working of mosdoses, so I'll just answer but don't know if youll understand.
A)I'm "sure" you generously donate each time you get those letters from the school. (And if we do, we probably feel like we did s/t super special, when in essence it's only to fill the gap to cover the costs of our children's tuition - which no matter how much (or little!) we pay, does NOT cover the actual cost.)
B) If they would, you would be blown away and wonder how they can continue to operate with such enormous deficits. You would be tempted to pull your kids out and find them a diff school, only to be shown a very similar balance sheet by e/school.
C) I often marvel at those who lash out at schools for charging "so much" (Almost every school I know has to fundraise just to cover the gap of what we pay in tuition to what it actually costs!!! Which means the school have to shnor or borrow for your child and my child and e/o elses!!!) Why don't we lash out at the grocer for charging so much? They are making a profit, the schools are not. Why don't we lash out at the banks for charging interest, at the clothing stores, hotels, utility companies...-You get the idea?
The one "industry" that is charging us less than the actual cost -(Yes, they accept our children and educate them at a LOSS!) is the one that gets all the slack. Kind of ironic, no?
