Do you stop for pedestrians in unmarked crosswalks?

Of course not, Capt. Obvious, I just mow down anyone who gets between my car and my destination.....

Whatever. I got in this country illegally and can claim whatever address I want in order to get more benefits.

The parent whose kid did not get to study AP chemistry just has a dumb chiild. The class must be filled with "exceptional" students.
Maybe you could consider a change in address? That could be easier than reverting back toa bygone era

I'm actually talking about one of the W schools... They do that - every year I have to override teachers recommendations because "B" is not good enough grade to take Honors/AP classes.
Oh boy, where should I move to find a miracle place with unlimited recourses, when funding is based on students' needs, not a county/school budget and space restrictions.

And you completely attribute this lack of resources to kids who are illegally attending your school? Maybe B really is not good enough for honors classes?

I was answering to one of the PPs who stated that overcrowding does not affect my kids education, COSA has nothing to do with school capacity... Well, it's wrong, everything chips in.
For your kid - maybe, but not for mine. So, I'll continue to overwrite counselor suggestions to support my DD choices.

of course - support your child. i was just wondering if you attribute the lack of AP resources to children illegally attending the school. i really have no idea how widespread this is - i guess i would have thought it was not that widespread.

Send your kid to private. Only some kids in public schools get to do the more advanced subjects.

Can I send you a bill to pay for it?

Overcrowding and lack of resources is a complex problem with many factors. Of course I wouldn't blame it all on "free-riders", but they do play their role.
Blank statements that my children do not suffer from it just simply dumb.

Maybe the person who sends the kids to school has custody or it's a divorced parent.

There are children at our school who are under guardianship of relatives and use those addresses for school, but still live with their parents. What this family is doing could be 100% legal. You're not privy to school records, leases, utility bills, or custody papers so I say MYOB.

cool, this must be why my child born Sept 2nd was told not to bother taking the test to start K "early" (by 2 days) because of overcrowding.

Well, did you have your kid take the test anyway? Don't think he or she would have been starting kindergarten at OP's child's middle school, though.
