[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to the WaPo article:

This parent signed the contract without reading all the fine print, on the strength of another parent telling her that they had received financial aid. After she signed, she realized there was no financial aid for preschool. However she received an email from the school saying that enrollment was not complete until they received the deposit, so she thought that not paying the deposit would be sufficient to avoid paying tuition. It was not.

If you read the article, it becomes apparent that this parent accumulated comprehension mistakes. She also looked for county programs for help with tuition, but realized it did not apply to private schools only after receiving an award.

This is what happens to the most vulnerable. They are not able to protect themselves against predatory methods. It's sad that humans prey on other humans.

Personally, I think this parent should be liable for some, but not all, the tuition. The school has shown itself to be extremely harsh against a fragile family. That's a really bad look. I hope public outcry changes the outcome here.

None of this is predatory. The parent didn’t read the contract, didn’t read the website, apparently didn’t even ask about financial aid and somehow just assumed it would show up. When it didn’t, she applied for outside aid in the same way, not actually reading what the funds could be used for. [/quote]
