I think what hurts people the most is that it’s all due right up front when school starts in one lump sum.

For a lot of people (especially now) that is a big chunk of change to cough up when they don’t even tell you how much it is until about 2 weeks before school starts.

There are a lot of poor people in this area that $400 bucks is a big hit to them.
