Topic Wiki

This thread is to discuss whether people feel that something is unethical, not to find out what the law*/T&C says.

Any Halachic questions should be posted here.

*According to CountValentine this includes religion, but unfortunately for him, the general consensus is that religion will always be entwined in this thread.

*Hint* If you have to ask, It's most likely not ethical.

Someone told me a nice vort.

We spend $10,000 on tuition and throw it out the window for a $10 discount for child fare (when we teach them that all they learn is BS)
Seems we haven't fixed the Echo bug on DDF.

To this: 

As I don't know you at all, you really shouldn't get offended.  I would just venture to guess that a disproportionate % of the participants on this forum would err on the side of paying the child rate -- at least while it is reasonably close to the cut-off birthday.

Not at that stage yet, but does it also depend if your child is within ear shot? 

I think not. It's about a mindset.
Besides one can only hide or pretend for so long. At the end of the day everything comes out :)

It's less than that in CLE, and that's besides for housing at a third of the NY price.

Tuition 1/3, housing 1/3...(and we don't mean 1/3 off, either)

Hmm....

I'm not in Brooklyn...and you couldn't pay me to live there....but there may be schools there with tuition that rival yours (Williamsburgh in particular)

Speaking of Williamsburgh, someone there told me a few weeks ago that he pays $7,000 in tuition per year, COMBINED, for his seven kids in the Satmar Yeshiva
