[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find all of the pearl clutching about the morals of breaking contracts in these threads to be so interesting. I am someone who never breaks contracts or backs out of things, so I doubt I'd find myself in this situation absent unusual circumstances. But I'm also a lawyer and people break contracts all the time. Sometimes it's the reasonable, logical thing to do. These schools are businesses too, and they will get over it and likely fill the seat if the school is any good. [/quote]

I would agree with the exception of the contract being enforced for the service member... typically we as a country legally protect parties breaking contracts due to unanticipated change of station for the people protecting our country.  In a town like DC where many people are within network of the government work force, I do feel it is especially shocking that a school would risk its reputation with that community.  They may have kept one family's tuition, but I can guarantee they lost many more, because whispers like that travel fast in that community.[/quote]
