She's not allowed to quit once she starts. She has to finish the season. If she decides to never play after this season, so be it. At least she tried and she finished what she started.

I'm not paying out a single dime just to let her quit. One of the mothers recently asked me why I hadn't put her in piano yet, like some of the other girls her age. My answer was that if I had to pay for piano then she would have to take it for a minimum of two years. (Long enough, IMO, to pay for the lease which was a minimum of two years and for her to learn something.)

They all know we don't view quitting as an option. They also know that I'm one of those "feel-gooders" (as one called me) because I don't care if they win or lose.
