"Good schools also need upfront money to provide good resources to provide good training and have good instructors and airplanes"

I don't see why. Maybe your big academies just run that way. But I don't see it as necessary. I know of big FBO's that are on par with the academies running newer aircraft. They don't make you pay upfront though you get a discount for pay in advance block rates.

If you pay up front you have no leverage and you're sticking your neck out. I guess many places expect you to do that, though.
