[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's all a scam or none of it is a scam. My guess is that the very upset pps were shut out of a preschool spot. So now they want to find someone to blame. 
And the poster who made the point about shifting boundaries due to potential over crowding- that is the first rational issue I've heard raised. Although, then you should do what you are telling everyone else to do. Either work to improve your new IB or try OOB the regular way. Lead by example.
   Everyone is afraid of bad schools for their kids. Some folks are fleeing those situations while they rest are afraid that they will suddenly find themselves carved out of a currently good school. [/quote]

Not one of the very upset pps, but how does a family that is lying about their residency and thereby securing a preschool spot not harm a family that is legitimately inbounds for a school that is then shutout? Preschool costs $$$ or time for commute or both. If I was paying an extra $30K or commuting an extra hour or two a day for several years due to the fact that other families were cheating, I would definitely be upset. Also, how do overcrowded classrooms due to people who are there illegitimately (and I'm not talking about kids who are there at the principal's discretion; I'm talking about those who provided false information to the school about their residence) not harm families that are there illegitimately? Would you rather have 20 or 30 kids per classroom/teacher? Space and classrooms are limited in these schools.[/quote]
