[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]12:28 PP here: Very few families leave md-year. It's as I posted previously, they either don't think they have to pay or they make a new school decision and don't think their contract is binding. [/quote]
I don't understand the "don't think they have to pay" comment.  Are you saying many families just think Barrie is free, and are surprised to learn they actually have to pay the tuition?  I must be misunderstanding you.  That seems wild.  I'd like to be on that no-pay plan too!

How many families leave each year?  I assume some percentage of those leaving actually are able to get out before the binding date, and some other percentage of departing families pay as required without any need for a lawsuit.  I'd have imagined only a small fraction of departing families gets in a situation where a lawsuit is necessary.  And for most other schools, that appears to be true -- very few lawsuits.  But Barrie files lots of lawsuits (~10 new ones in 2013 alone).  If Barrie is suing 10 departing families in 2013, how many others left without getting sued?  Another 20 families?  More?[/quote]
