30 days is more than enough time to get paid, however approved, otherwise the school would be paying late fees out the toosh from other companies.

Well said, Mike. I see absolutely no reason to discount to what will likely be your most difficult customer who will take the absolute longest to pay.
I have one choral teacher in a school 30 miles from me who is a sweetheart. She has me out 3 times a year to tune 3 pianos and whatever I do is wonderful. But that is definitely the exception for most of the schools that I have dealt with in my 25 years.

You're right Dean, I've become so accustomed to it I forgot about the 45 to 60 day, sometimes more, wait to be paid.
