1. Originally, I wasn’t planning on asking my company for reimbursement because I didn’t expect them to have the budget for it. But to my surprise, they offered, which was really nice of them. I didn’t want to be under a financial burden from spending close to $20k. 2. I agree.

yeah I mean this industry isn't really regulated so it's kind of hard for number three to show one way or the other. but triple ten does seem to have pretty legitimate and legally carefully crafted marketing. so I would assume that they have some kind of like legal process here but 50% off for identifying with a certain gender is pretty crazy.
I know in general that triple ten forked off of the Russian search company Yandex this year to become its own standalone entity. but at the same time it doesn't have the financial backing from them anymore. so I could see them trying to be more creative with discounts to try to get the enrollment that they need. they definitely spend a lot of money on marketing and YouTube sponsorships and such as well.
