I agree it should be much cheaper. Administration and bureaucratic growth has driven up costs. It absolutely should not be that way. It shouldn't be for profit, at least not on the public side. It is a shame, but it is the self licking ice cream cone. Keep adding jobs that do nothing for education(except drive up costs), soon the middle class can't afford it and then it must be funded by tax dollars. Unfortunately it is probably only a matter of time.
