[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is an issue? Yet we allow students who don't even belong in the US to show up and get a free education. I know it's the law that they have to be educated, but it's a bad law that needs to be changed.

If those students weren't here, we probably wouldn't have folks trying to get out of low-performing schools with lots of FARMs and ESOL into higher-rated ones.[/quote]

Seems like a hassle to lie about your address/residency. There is a car with a Madison High School sticker on it near me, and I am nowhere near Madison high school – what an effing pain in the ass if someone from my neighborhood is driving all the way to/from Madison high school daily! It is easily a 30 minute drive with light traffic.

Also, there are *plenty* of FARMS and poorly performing native-born Americans. Are they here/would they come here? Don’t know. My sister’s rural Virginia school district is almost all FARMS and they offer free preschool (or head start?) to everyone, and the schools are poorly rated on test scores as well.
