Ultimately in a competitive market, you can't do this.  The competition
will come along and cut the prices.  I saw an article recently about
some colleges cutting tuition.  Of course competition doesn't happen
overnight and those already in the market will want to create barriers
to entry--e.g., the teachers' unions will lobby for the imposition of
various rules and regs (teachers must have a teacher certification,
etc. etc.) to protect what they've got.  

Just my take.
