[quote=Anonymous]The problem is that the law has a grey area when it comes to contract enforcement in cases of unpaid deposits or services not provided, but decades of precedent in school lawsuits has solidified existing law into a very pro-business direction. Precedent is NOT on the families' side.

People can argue forever that the defendant should have read her contract, or that the other family at Landon should have better understood the Principal's offer to "keep a spot open" for their kid... but ultimately, from a moral perspective, it stinks for a school to be so aggressive when the student did not even benefit from classes.

This is extreme capitalism, essentially. Financial might is right.

What's interesting here, from a DCUM parent perspective, is which private schools are aggressive and which are not. Maybe it has to do with the ethics of each administration; but it probably also has to do with basic math and which schools are on shaky financial ground, or perceive themselves to be on same.
