[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But thinking back to the thread that's causing so much drama - my fraud investigation story - what the OP is describing is exactly what happened to that OP.

The family moved out of the boundary (in that case temporarily) but to another part of the city and was reported to her principal.

So while the PPs on this thread may not have as much of an issue with it as someone who lives outside the city, plenty of others do. And FWIW I think this kind of cheating is pretty rampant in WOTP schools.[/quote]

Those situations are not comparable. For situations like the other thread's OP where she had to move out of the family home into temporary housing due to abuse, schools typically treat that as homelessness rather than a change of address and the children can continue to attend their current school until the housing situation is permanently resolved. Same process if, for instance, a family is temporarily displaced due to a house fire. In this case, there is no temporary displacement, the child is continuing to reside at their home address and her parents are acquiring another residence for someone else's use with no intention of the child living there.[/quote]

Right - to the school systems the situations are different.

But what I was trying to say, not very well apparently, is that one should be prepared for other families at the WOTP  to notice or wonder why your child isn't walking to school, is having their bday party in Shaw or whatever, and may report you. [/quote]
