Done, sorry lol.

Supply and demand are finally working!

They've been increasing rates for decades, idiot parents and even dumber kids keep paying them.

Maybe they will finally start asking the only question that matters: "Why are my kids coming out of high school so piss-poorly prepared for the job market that I must now pay, borrow, steal, or beg to pay for four years of "core" classes so my kid can get a job."

are through the ceiling?" along with "Why do those with legacy admissions seem to do so much better after college financially than those who actually qualified academically?"

No one takes 4 years of core classes in college.

Job training is actually the job of business now, and has been since No Child Left Behind (NO, I do not support NCLB). Literacy, numeric manipulation, and critical thinking are the current job of high schools. Want high school to be a terminal degree?

Then get off No Child Left Behind, which killed vocational education to benefit the testing industry and return to where we were pre-1984, when welders, plumbers, cosmetologists, electricians, auto mechanics, auto paint and body folk, locksmiths, carpenters, framers, bricklayers, drywall techs, roofers, cabinet makers all graduated from the same high school where I now teach.

Those courses and licensing procedures have been moved by the Texas Legislature to junior colleges and post-secondary tech schools. Perhaps you can get an answer out of them - Lord knows I avoid contact in case terminal greediness is catching.

The question is why does it cost so much and keep increasing. High school cannot prepare everyone or even most for the job market.
