 Re: Just how bad IS a $90 clarinet? And can you hear the difference?

I believe that we have to look at these cheap "clarinets" as something disposable and not judge them the same way as we judge student models from established manufacturers.
Regarding school instruments: a few years ago, my boss came to me and said, "My son plays clarinet in school but he cannot play at all! You played clarinet before, why do you think he cannot play?"
I told him to bring son's clarinet to work- the next morning I saw a Selmer that was leaking from probably every pad on the upper joint. I explained to him that it would not make any sense for them to fix the clarinet that belongs to the school so the following morning I brought him my own stencil French clarinet that I played when I studied. That clarinet was out of tune but held suction and all the keys worked fine.
Let's be realistic: majority of the parents are working people, who, after full work day, may not even have enough energy to "bother" with their son or daughter's music lessons.
Just like Paul said above, any specialized activity requires additional expense and research. Not every parent can afford to do either or both.
