Thanks everyone. Like I said, it's a private school. It has one parish priest and it was his idea to help me with tuition for my son. He is 14 by the way.

I already have had someone help me finish up his trip money. I didn't want to not go on one last outing with his classmates. Only so many times I can ask for an assist. I think they are getting tired of me.

I said I'd have some money on the 3rd, and pay the balance on the 16th. Not good enough.

I'm going to ask the principal tomorrow if legally they can do this.
