paying an extra $20 a month and then another $20 a month a few months later
allowed my
students to adjust their budgets. No one even questioned the raise and I
lost no students. >>
I'm agonizing over raising mine $4!!! I raised my rate by $2/hour about a
year ago, and lost one (the very proimising kid whose mother smoked 2 packs
of cigarettes a day). I'm still on the low end and my kids did quite well at
contest (at least so far) so I'm not too worried, but I'm by my very nature
such a cheapskate that I worry other people will be as well....
