Considering that 2 schools just closed in Lakewood due to financial issues – it might be more prevalent than we’d like to think 🙁
But I think the question related more to acceptance than tuition. I hear it is a huge issue, internationally. There is no more “middle of the road” – you are either very black or modern – and therefore accepted into a very black institution or a modern one. If you define yourself as slightly to the right of modern or slightly to the left of black – you have no educational institution for your children.
