While I can understand your desire for an educational discount, sometimes part of the key to being a 100 year company is having the income to support such a venture. IDK why it was discontinued. But ROI may have been a factor. It is much more then desire when we have a contractual agreement for a set price and then without any notice, it goes away. They can not have it both ways. If ROI is the issue, then something less then a %400 increase for schools may have been needed. If they really needed a %400 increase, then it is best to get out now as clearly there are larger issues at play here. We are now faced with letting students, teachers, and parents drop using Evernote as we can not afford $4,000.00 a month. Good luck with maintaining the growth Evernote. This does not seem like the Evernote I grew to love for their future looking type company. I had counted on them being different. I think there will be a backlash against them for this increase. I have also promoted Evernote to not be used for free as way too many schools push. I like to pay for services but clearly can no longer afford Evernote. I am more sad then mad.
