[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most private school enrollment contracts bind the private school to only a very low duty of care, and no particular educational, social, or developmental goals are assured.  We had DC enrolled at a well-known private school and became embroiled in a serious dispute with the head of school; the school declined to settle and refund our tuition unless we would execute a lifetime confidentiality agreement; they claim that this is their SOP.  We also understand that almost every private school carries general liability insurance, with complete-defense coverage, such that the school itself effectively does not have to pay the costs of defense counsel.  You have NO rights in a private school.

So you declined to settle because you would have to keep quiet about it?  Why is agreeing to confidentiality a deal breaker if you get the settlement you want? I also don't follow the point about liability insurance...how does a school having liability insurance lead to families having no rights?[/quote]
