Fund raising to pay others loan

[woode]

What is the name of your state? Texas
My granddaughter is going to a trade school to become a dential assistant. All students have loans which they make installments. If one of the students becomes deliquent on their loan the teacher requires everyone do a fund raiser to catch the deliquent person up on their loan. The students go along with this because the teacher is also the job placement person. And everyone wants to be placed with a good dentist most money and etc. How legal is this and should I step in to put a stop to this nonsense?What is the name of your state?

My response:

You granddaughter doesn't need the "placement" after graduation. There are plenty of dental assistant jobs out there. The only reason the school is doing this is because it's in their own self-interest to keep the student paying, and not defaulting.

Tell the school it's not your GD'r's job to make sure the school gets paid by some deadbeat. Tell the school your GD'r firmly believes in "Survival of the Fittest" and separating the wheat from the chafe; i.e., to count your granddaughter out of the next fund raiser. She there to learn, not to become an arm of their "collection department."
