[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What sort of weirdo checks the Montgomery County Courts docket for suits against all the area private schools?  Do you check the DC, Fairfax and PG courts too?

To really make a valid comparison would require exhaustive research - or you could just shoot from the hip and hope you don't get called on your sloppy research.  [/quote]
Feel free to try to prove me wrong. Barrie has probably 10x more filings than other schools.

Can you answer the question of why?[/quote]

When my DCs attended Barrie it was at the time when they mailed your bill. One year we received four extra bills stuck to ours. Of course I opened them (why, I don’t know) and none of the four had ever made a payment. The bill was for the last payment of the 10 payment plan and not one of those parents had made a payment! So, I called the Barrie’s accounting department and said “hey I want to be on the no payment plan. I didn’t realize there was one”. (Barrie states that if you are not up to date with you payments the student cannot return the next semester.) The accounting department didn’t say anything, but I later received an email from the head of the BOT and he said “no what I stated wasn’t true”. He said “Barrie has been going after people who don’t pay their debts so there isn’t anyone who is behind”. So, here I am, holding four bills for people who have never paid a dime and the BOT head says my claim is not true. And that incident describes Barrie perfectly.
So, I think they’ve stepped up the suing because they had such a lax policy of paying and everyone knew it, so they didn’t pay. Also, so many of the Barrie families are for Pre-K and I think they’re not necessarily familiar with the process. I think if they get off the wait list to another school and think they can walk away from Barrie.
