I didn't use the qualifier "deserving" for nothing. I don't think I would be
soliciting for students through a classified ad in Investors Business Daily
and accepting them on a first come first served basis.
And if worst comes to worst, and if what you guys are saying is really true,
provided that I really really and truly care about these students (more than
they care for themselves), I would make them donate their tuition to a
charity.

And I don't think you are suggesting that I start charging my son as well,
or do you?  :-)

Levent
