[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a reputation issue. Since most families are relatively well off, they would prefer to pay the full year rather than going to a trial. Having said that, private schools don’t really care if the family is poor. They just want their money: https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2025/08/08/private-school-lawsuit-sandy-springs-families/[/quote] It's a reputational issue for the schools, not for the families. SSFS sued this mother when it was on the verge of closing due to collapsing finances. It ultimately forgave the debt because of how bad the publicity was for it. But SSFS evidently didn't have a wait pool of tons of eager, full-pay families. Otherwise, it wouldn't have come close to closing. [/quote]
