Is there a place that removes the lift and cut from a shaver here in FR?
Probably sterling electronic
You can probably do it yourself with a pair of tweezers.
You can

What is "grossly understated"? Do you have any real info you would like to share?

As far as I know, low income families get the same tuition breaks as Rabbeim. They just have to fill out the forms and show what they make and spend.

But it's true, if a family spends $10,000+ on Pesach hotels, or takes their families to Eretz Yisroel for Sukkos, or goes on expensive vacations, they will probably not get the same breaks as Rabbeim who cannot afford all that. Klei Kodesh also cannot afford to eat out eat the various eateries discussed on this forum. They also have trouble paying their rent/mortage and monthly expenses.

Just so you should know: The Five Towns is not a place for Klei Kodesh to live. Housing is over the top, food costs more, clothing is more expensive locally. And in general, it's a very expensive place to live. It's a lot easier to live in Lakewood or the like, where the cost of living is much less. And their children do not have the same nisoyon of wanting and needing to have what their friends have here.

When Klei Kodesh live here, they are putting themselves on the line for the better of the community. They should be recognized as such, and not be treated or looked at like shmattas. Maybe you should try to sit in a classroom with 30 spoiled kids. Be mechanech them, have patience for them, go home and have to prepare and grade their papers. And to put up with the calls from parents at the same time. All this while tutoring after hours so they can pay their bills.
What is grossly understated is what mechanic him pay for tuition. They're paying about $5k per child.

If the rest of your post was directed to me, just know that I am on the side of the mechanchim.

We need to incentivize chinuch as a career choice as much as we can, to get the best rebbeim and moros for our children.

Maybe I'm wrong but I find that the local yeshivos have the best rebbeim around. It's a known thing that Rabbi bender used to take the best rebbeim from other communities (obviously paying way better). At this point, he has his own talmidim that he  groomed into unbelievable rabbiem. Along with the higher caliber rabbiem comes higher pay. In turn, tuition is more.
Of course once Darchei raised the bar (in regards to how great their rabbiem are), the other yeshivos had to follow suit.

Probably none (because they all have great rabbiem).
But compared to other NY/NJ mainstream yeshivas, I would say they are one of the highest.

I have kids in YDT. I am very happy with the whole situation. Great rebbeim etc... As much as I would never put my childrens chinuch at risk or put them in a yeshiva with lesser quality then Darchei - I still can't sit here and be 100% ok with these prices.   $13,500 for Pre 1A?!?   over $16,000 for first grade?!    Maybe dont groom them thaaatt much :P 

Then they say beginning of the year " Great news we aren't raising tuition prices this year"   Do they want a cookie?

Are those the amounts you actually pay? Or is that the amount they start with. Some can afford it. Most cannot. And most probably do not pay that amount.
