Of course not, they're paying for it fair and square. Same concept could apply to daycares.
As for the interview - don't you have to do one in the current system to get on the waitlist in the first place? It could still be a part of the process.
I don't interview until I have a slot available.
Charging more won't make the children grow up faster.
My wait isn't about money it is about occupancy.
- If I enroll an infant, that slot most likely won't be available again for 4-6 years.
- If I enroll a two-year-old, that slot won't be available again for an average of 2-4 years.
- If I have a 5.5-year-old, that slot will be open in 6 months because the mandatory school attendance age is 6 years.
Same for all 6 slots. My next opening depends on when they move on, not who is on the waitlist and what they are willing to pay.
