[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks PP. I'm not sure how the school would perceive my citing this incident as the reason. This injury caused me to take a closer look at the circumstances that would have allowed that injury to happen, if that makes sense, and what I saw was absolutely an environment that would have allowed that to happen--ie, minimal supervision. It's the lax approach to supervision that caused me the most upset, as kids hurt themselves all the time even when standard safety procedures are in place. And when my DC was injured, not even basic first aid was administered.[/quote]

Well, it sounds like you may have enough to try to float the equivalent of a "we are canceling our contract for cause" sort of argument.  Perhaps you could also argue that the fact that the contract refers to your initial money as a "deposit" is an implicit recognition that you are not yet bound to pay the full amount.  Contracts are construed against the drafter, so any ambiguity should work in your favor.

Good luck to you.  I have a litigation background so I tend to be more risk-averse in some ways, and see the downsides of various situations, including threatening litigation.  Somewhat counter-intuitive I know!  Talk to your DH, sleep on it, see what happens.  [/quote]
