[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe one kid does't have big impact. But a bunch of kids like this do, and if there is no enforcement of the rules, then surely there are a lot of kids like this.

I agree. Also, if this family is actually claiming they obtained a spot at JR via the lottery and telling lots of neighbors and friends this, when they didn't, then they are also perpetuating a falsehood about the lottery and about the options families have for accessing quality schools. Some parents are not savvy about the lottery, don't know you can look up how many kids got lottery spots at specific schools, and wouldn't know to be skeptical of this claim. They might induce a family to think they have a chance at a lottery spot when they don't. The lottery system is very imperfect, but it *is* fair. People who bend the rules to commit boundary fraud undermine that fairness and confuse people. There are actually victims to this behavior.[/quote]

Don't worry, if th ey're telling lots of neighbors and friends this, they're bound to be caught. [/quote]
