[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, the question here is if you can walk away if the school is able to fill the slot with a kid from the waiting list? Can anyone explain in plain English what are the economic damages of that situation? [/quote]

DP. If your contract says you cannot walk away then one can't -- and the courts consistently enforce breach of contract. [/quote]

Really? Have you tried to cancel a hotel reservation without penalty. Well, it does happen, and frequently. By the way, it also happens at schools depending on the circumstances. [/quote]

Yes, my son got sent home with hand foot and mouth the day before we were supposed to leave to go skiing in Utah.  We called the hotel (owned by Marriott) and the airline (delta) and calmly explained the situation and asked for the best way to go about canceling or moving.  Both let us cancel with no penalty to simplify and to ensure no one who may be carrying HFM came to their business.

Same is true with schools, if you have a real reason, you call and calmly explain, they are more likely to work with you.[/quote]

Fully agree! [/quote]
