Do many Bridge clubs have reduced table fees for school pupils or fulltime university students? My club doesn't but I wish it did. School kids and students tend to have zero income and playing Bridge regularly is unaffordable for most or many of them. Is there a prevailing opinion on this?

I honestly don't think it matters. Once they get exposed to the reality that bridge teachers aren't fully invested in their development because said teachers don't care about anyone who isn't already established, they'll move on to other games.
I should know because I have given up looking for a teacher who sincerely wants to work with a neurodivergent and teach on my terms (read: whiteboard lectures only, because I can't handle PowerPoint slides), and now I am reduced to just watching tables on BBO when I want my brain to be on autopilot.
