[quote=Anonymous][quote]Wrong. The purpose of sibling preference is family convenience. It's convenient for half-sibs to attend the same school. All one side would have to do is pick up the other one every now and then, have them both stay over at Grandma's together, have one person writing checks for both kids... This absolutely passes the smell test. We've got a child like this in our class in school. Everybody knows about it and nobody cares. As long as the parents from the other side are involved in the half-sib's life, it's legal and it's the right thing to do.

Good luck trying to get your snowflake an extra spot by short-changing the child from the fractured family. Most people at our school - liberal and conservative - would call you pathetic. [/quote]

A lot of things would promote family convenience.  Bus service, for example, free lunches for all - the list is endless.  But schools don't do all those things.  Absent half-siblings living in the same household (hell, even living together half the time), the "convenience" doesn't seem to rise to the level to warrant the preference, at least to me.  You obviously disagree, but do try and maintain a civil tongue.  [/quote]
