I really don't understand logic behind that price other than we can just charge that much. Material doesn't change that much, I doubt the ratio of staff to students need to be very low either... No special or expensive equipment is needed either...

It's because this profession is regulated by the government. So the prices skyrocket. This happens with any thing regulated by the government. A liquor license in CA can run up to $300,000 dollars. Health insurance is insanely expensive. The more automobile regulation, the more the price goes up.

Regulation is a double edge sword.

They make a thing safer but then the increased cost excludes a lot of people from using the thing until typically only the rich are able to enjoy a thing.

I wish the government would regulate my health insurance a lot harder.
You could always just give your money to the insurance company. I'm sure they would appreciate it.
