[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This really pisses me off.  I live in a crappy apartment in a good school district so that my kid can legitimately go there.  I haven't read 10 pages of crap and justification, but even if you could get away with this I sure hope you don't.  Do you think I wouldn't live more space in a difference part of town???? Of course I would!!! But I decided my kid's education is more important.  People like you who want to have their cake and eat it too really get on my nerves.  You overcrowd our schools and make our kids suffer because you think you are above the law.  Screw you! I hope you get caught and go to jail.[/quote]

you want to commute across town at rush hour twice a day, really?  You made a good choice for your family - not a smaller house but less time in a car.[/quote]

That was another huge consideration. I hate commuting and take public transportation so it wouldn't be feasible anyway, but I'd rather spend time at home with my kid.[/quote]

You are either willfully or stupidly missing the PP's point.  EVERYONE would rather have both a great school and a short commute.  But those of us who play by the rules make trade offs to do it, like less space to be in a better school district.  People like YOU think that you are somehow above playing by the rules and unapologetically strategize to have cake and eat it, i.e. have your bigger place and, just because you can afford it, rent a smaller tiny place that you have no intention of living in and then present that as your residence.   I have had opportunities to cheat as well (more by knowing people at schools and being offered easy entry) and I have declined, and done things by the book.  Mainly because I believe in karma, but also because I believe "live by the sword, die by the sword".  If I cheat, then I can't be upset in the least if I or my kid gets cheated.

But people like you think a) you won't get caught, and b) your means justify your ends.  Well, they don't.  But you may well get away with it if you do this.

Then again... you may well NOT get away with it.  I really really hope you get caught, because your matter of fact smugness about just doing it because you can warrants you going through all this trouble, hopefully spending a lot of money on it too, and then getting busted.  I feel for your kid though... moral fortitude is clearly missing in some key ways from your family.  Hopefully he/she/they can rise above your shortcomings.[/quote]

I'm the one that said I DIDN'T want to commute or cheat the system, which is why I live in a crappy apartment and send my kid to school in boundary, LEGITIMATELY.  [/quote]

Sorry, my bad, I got "who was speaking" confused.  As you can see from my posts, I totally agree with you and applaud everyone who plays by the rules.[/quote]
