Barbizon Modeling IMTA convention is a ripoff contract not fulfilled San Francisco California

My daughter attended Barizon of San Francisco's classes in Los Angeles. The classes were good for what they were (mostly makeup and presentation). She was "selected" to go to the International Model and Talent convention in Los Angeles in January 2005. I was sceptical but paid over $6000 for both her and I to go. This was to include classes to get her ready to appear before agents and scouts. One class was mostly missed because the instructor was asleep and the substitute they called in did not go over everything that day. There was no offer of a makeup class. The instructor was unavailable to the students during the convention.

Bed checks were supposed to be done every night but were only done once via phone. Like teenagers can not get around that. Parents did not receive their books or shirts at all and had to remind the instructor several times to get their bags. This whole thing was poorly done from the schools standpoint. I called and wrote 2 time to Lena Lionetti who is supposed to be the owner and still no reply. I guess they got my money.
