If they're making so much money, how come my kids' (plural possessive) Charter school has so many fundraisers?
It seems like we're always contributing our time and/or $$$ to retain a music teacher, gym teacher, etc.

Submission + - Charging fees for Hulu comes with its own problems (yahoo.com)
zummit writes: Hulu's days as a free online video site could be ending soon.
Comedy Central's decision to yank two of the most popular shows on Hulu — "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report" — in a dispute over splitting ad revenue is the latest blow to the entertainment industry's attempts to make money off ads that run with free video.
Yet Hulu's most viable alternative — charging for access to some videos — could turn off viewers and crimp the site's explosive growth. Ultimately, the remedy to Hulu's current troubles could leave the site even worse off, a poor shadow of its former self.
