[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our friends at our school found out about a counsel our decision this week when the school didn’t send a contract for one of their children. No warning. They had been looking at other schools because their child was having a tough year and they didn’t like the administration response so they had applied to other options, but what if they hadn’t? Shocking. [/quote]

This to me is the most shocking and unacceptable part. Of course schools have the right to counsel out students who for whatever reason aren’t thriving or are creating issues or whatever. Parents may not like or agree with the decision, but the school has the right to do it. Barring a major incident that crops up in January after applications are due, these conversations *should* be happening in the fall to give families time to explore options and apply out. I’m surprised that’s not somehow written into the contracts (which I admit I’ve never scrutinized), but at a minimum that seems like a pretty basic concept and it’s very sad that schools are not doing that.
