[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does your child’s school really want to have a child who doesn’t want to be there for a full year?[/quote]

What’s your point?

Kid holds school hostage by “not liking them,” and gets $60k back?

Op is not from the DMV. So maybe this sort of thing flies where they live.[/quote]

I’m just surprised admin wouldn’t be happy to wash their hands of a difficult child[/quote]

I don’t think yiy get it, kid can leave but parents are still on hook for tuition.  If they stay, kid is still subject to all normal disciplinary measures for bad behavior, including suspension or expulsion.  They have to pay tuition regardless.[/quote]

In between being a happy student and expulsion is a big area where an unhappy student behaves well enough not to be disciplined but brings down class morale, creates headaches, contributes to an unwelcome vibe. If I were an admin I’d want the child who didn’t want to be there to just leave.[/quote]

Not sure what your point is, op said her kid was happy at the private, but she isn’t getting out of her tuition obligation by turning her kid into a behavioral problem.  No rational person would teach their kid bad behavior in this situation.  No one wants a kid with no friends that their teachers hate.  You need to get in touch with the real world.[/quote]
