Legal Question in Consumer Law in Florida

Tae Kwon Do/ Cult

My daughter has just finished her first year of tae kwon do classes,and we just renewed our agreement for the second year of classes. She loves Tae Kwon Do.

Well my daughter who is 12 has had a disagreement with the owner/instructor of the school, and we all feel as though there is a hostile environment at the school since this disagreement, and that she is not recieving the benefit that she should.

The teacher now seems to show a lot of favortism, and the classes seem to have the opposite effect of why we contracted with him in the first place. We feel this is weird and we are not comfortable here any more.

I would go into the precise nature of the conflict, but it is a man who is close to 40 and he seems to be a bit immature to not be able to settle this disagreement with my 12 year old daughter.

Can I end this agreement for any other reason not listed in our contract, the usual ones don't apply: moving, out of business, health problems noted by a doctor etc..

We just don't want to impose this guys strange behavior on our daugher, and we don't want to pay him any more.

Is there a way to switch schools?

RESPONSE: Although you may have a defense to the enforcement of the contract I recommend having an attorney write a letter on your behalf to attempt to have the dojo release you from the contract. This will avoid future problems with any claims that you breached the contract. If you need the assistance of counsel, let me know. Good luck, Sianara, and Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto.
