[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know two families that are doing/have done this. Wealthy families who wanted their kids to play at better HS sports teams in the hopes of recruitment. Both have rental properties.

They changed their address to one of the rental properties, as well as on bills, etc. I have no knowledge of whether they slept there at all, much less 51% of the time. They drove their kid to school and, to be honest, it was actually easier as the new HS (it was the same in both cases) is closer to where their real homes are. Boundaries make our base HS kind of a pain (for us too).

Everyone knew this was going on. No one ratted them out, as far as I know. And they covered all their bases with putting hte rental address on all the appropriate bills, paperwork. One graduated and the other is still in HS so we'll see.

It can be done. And while I generally don't like cheating [b]I also feel like we are in an era of "every man for himself" so[/b] . . . others do it. And if it is not this, it's something else. I'd consider it if I had the option. [/quote]

That's not how integrity works.  FYI[/quote]

Everybody fudges on "integrity." That's a fact. But, at the end of the day, my priority is my kid and this is a low level breaking of rules that doesn't really hurt anyone. So, I can live with that (if we had to do it - we don't). [/quote]

Cheaters gonna cheat.[/quote]
