An Ohio mom has been convicted and sent to jail for lying about her address so she could send her daughters to a better neighboring school district. School officials said she was cheating the system by having her daughters receive an education she hadn't paid the taxes for. "Those dollars need to stay home with our students," said school officials. To snare her, the school hired a private investigator, who videotaped her driving the children into the district.

How ridiculous! If only more parents wanted the best for their children we would live in a much better place!
ReplyDeleteI agree. A parent is actively trying to do right by her child to get her what she feels is a better education and she is punished for it.
ReplyDeleteRules are rules but jail time? Maybe that wasn't a better school after all.
Well it's not ridiculous. People with better schools generally pay higher taxes. The exhibit around here would be Delmar, MD. Their taxes are much higher than the surrounding communities and their schools are jam packed. While I do not think anyone should be arrested for this, I do think if the school districts were a little more proactive with regards to this then Delmar would have a little more room.
ReplyDeletedo what we did and actually move to a better school didtrict when the child gets school age.
