I believe you can do it. I suggest you follow through or else you will always regret not finishing. While it might seem daunting just break it down in small steps and complete the steps in order. Have a general plan on how you are going to accomplish each step and a realistic idea of what date you will complete them.

Thanks! Realistically it isn't that much left, just a very expensive part but that's how it goes!

What does it take for a school to say, “we don’t want your money”?

The ones I kicked out were for:
Non-payment, repeated late payment.
Safety violations.
Repeated late cancellations or no shows.
Sexual harassment of instructors.
Operating a chisel charter.
Being unreasonably difficult.

Schools aren’t in the position they were 10 years ago where scratching for every available student was common. Now it’s much easier to get rid of the 5% of students who cause 80% of your grief. Sometimes the customer isn’t right.

The fun part is the bad reviews that come afterwards. Apparently I am racist and a jerk which is amusing if you look at the faces and last names of the people I hired.

Yah, that’s kind of what I was getting at with my question, I figured it wasn’t that they were good students who paid in advance.
The above are certainly good reasons to part ways!
