[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP--what were the reasons for your breach? TBH, you are better off just paying if your reasons for not paying are flimsy. They will sue you and and very likely win. If you lose, you're on the hook for paying your attorney for his time AND their attorney--if a judge decides to.

Bottom line-unless you were being held hostage in a bunker or in a hospital with a terminal disease during those 6 weeks, no court is going to rule in your favor.[/quote]

The court of yelp and public opinion will and embarrass the school. [b]Sad that money is more important than the happiness of their key kids.[/b][/quote]

I'm sure it felt good to say that, but it's not based in reality at all. It costs money to run a school. The administration has to hire teachers and purchase supplies based on the expectation of a certain number of students attending the school. Once those teachers have contracts and other sunk costs have been incurred, the school needs those students' tuition money to cover the costs. A few kids dropping out at the last moment without replacements can have a huge impact on the school's finances and can harm everyone else's experience if the school doesn't require them to fulfill their obligations under the contract. That's why there are withdrawal deadlines in these contracts, so the schools can plan appropriately.[/quote]
