I am currently attending a private massage therapy school. I missed a week of school due to illness and have a doctors note advising me not to attend school. The owner of the school is charging me money for missing hours. Is that legal?

It depends on your contract with the school. You signed a contract when you enrolled. It might be called an enrollment agreement or something of that nature. That document will tell you what the school can (and cannot) charge for. Good luck!
