IF STUDENTS CAN AFFORD IT, WE CHARGE $5 PER MONTH FOR 12 HOURS OF INSTRUCTION PER MONTH . IF THE FAMILY CAN'T AFFORD THAT WE TRY TO BARTER-RICE, VEGETABLES, WHATEVER. I AM A FIRM BELIEVER THAT IF PEOPLE GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING, THAT IS EXACTLY THE VALUE THEY WILL PLACE ON IT AND THE ENERGY THEY WILL INVEST IN IT. HOWEVER, NO STUDENT IS REFUSED ON THE BASIS OF FINANCIAL INABILITY NOR DO WE HOUND, CAJOLE OR HASSLE STUDENTS ABOUT LATE PAYMENT.
WE ALLOW SOME STUDENTS FROM IMPOVERISHED FAMILIES TO STUDY FOR FREE AS LONG AS THEY SHOW ENTHUSIASM AND DEDICATION AND THEIR PARENTS SUPPORT OUR EFFORTS. PLEASE NOTE THAT WE DO NOT EMPHASIZE ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE, THAT IS A VALUE THAT IS NEGLECTED IN THE RURAL GRADE AND JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOLS. IN SHORT NO ONE FAILS, ALMOST ALL ARE PASSED IRREGARDLESS OF LACK OF ACHIEVEMENT. I'LL COME BACK TO THIS POINT IN ANOTHER BLOG, BUT SPARE YOU THE HARANGUE FOR NOW.
