[quote=Anonymous]It's one of these policies that seems like a reasonable policy but when you look at the actual cases and situations it's not. It seems fair (because, well, I too had to lottery) and it seems a deterrent to fraud (oh, let met just rent here for a year and be in). However, the price we'd pay for those principled gains are not worth it, not at the elementary school level. They will set back exactly those who're staying put in the city and neighborhood, just looking for a bigger house, like we did, to make it all work with maybe another child or a better paying job. You've then got kids, like ours, who'd attend an elementary school for years and just about when it matters to them and the school (i.e. tests), they'd be forced to change schools because, what, they moved three blocks over? This cannot possibly be in the interest of anyone, least of them the child's.

Putting that call into the hands of the principal seems like the lesser of two evils. Short of that, you'd needs some rules to attenuate the absurdest of outcomes.[/quote]
