Issue 1:

During this economically challenging period that the country and world is facing, many employees have had to accept pay cuts. One such person is a parent who called in to explain that she is currently paying exorbitant fees at her child's school (even with current lockdown regulations which require some children to stay at home) but she is not getting the promised services from the school.

"For a school to demand full school fees is not okay," Wendy responded. She suggested that the school and parent come together to plan how both parties will move ahead.
