[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our daughter has been at the same school since kindergarten. This year, she became severely ill and was hospitalized four times. She is still not well enough to attend school so the school suggested we homeschool for the balance of the year.

The school insists we pay the balance of tuition minus a fairly modest amount. Our daughter was hospitalized starting in September so has - at most - attended only a month intermittently.

Has anyone successfully argued for more of a tuition forgiveness under these circumstances? Our medical bills are $$$ and [b]we currently pay a $1k a month for anti nausea medication that insurance won’t cover[/b], for example, but are necessary to prevent readmission.[/quote]

I've got no advice re: tuition, I'm sorry, but this line jumped out at me.  If it's Zofran/ondansetron, please look around because you can definitely get it cheaper than the official sticker price.  My insurance only covers 7 tablets at a time and I was prescribed a whole box (30), so I asked the pharmacist how much the box would cost out of pocket and it was only $12 - less than my copay for the 7 tablets!  This was a Giant food pharmacy, but GoodRx seems to indicate that you can get it around that price at several other chains, too: https://www.goodrx.com/zofran .  (If it's not Zofran, apologies - just had to mention it in case!)[/quote]
