[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only people mad about this are the ones that overpaid to live in-bounds and are equally mad at “those” OOB students taking up space in “their” schools. Or maybe charter lottery winners who don’t like thinking their kids aren’t in the best school possible. If you don’t like it, petition OSSE to change the policy. Don’t be petty and spiteful.

For real. This is an issue for the Wilson feeder schools. No one else cares.[/quote]

Except the people who want into the Wilson feeders. They care. They care because they can’t get in because other people who are rich enough to afford it will lie.

I guess you don’t care about equity as much as you say you do.[/quote]

When you trot out this little “as much as you say you do” line, who are you speaking to? The voices in your head.[/quote]

Any actual response to the point that ignoring, if not encouraging people who have the money to cheat the system is not equitable?  Anything? Do you think the rich deserve more just because they can afford it?[/quote]

it sounds like they are following the rules and if the had more money, they would just buy an inbounds house. That's what the rich who want to stay public do- they purchase a house in an acceptable school district. It's not cheating, it's how the system was designed to work [/quote]

It might not be technically illegal, but it certainly goes against what the system of neighborhood schools was designed to do. It is meant to allow kids who live near each other to go to school together, not to put those into the same school who can afford to own or rent a piece of real estate in the same neighborhood.[/quote]

The spirit of neighborhood schools in the US is segregation. That’s why busing was a thing.[/quote]

So now we desegregate by allowing affluent families get in by owning or renting extra real estate, and taking up the few spots that could go to at-risk kids?[/quote]
