[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is really simple.  If you do not live IB (look up the definition), then you are OB.  You can either move IB or you can find out if there are legal ways to attend as OB.  If you live OB but claim to live IB (in whatever creative way you dream up), you would be breaking the law and would have to lie every day you send your child to school.  You would have to require that your child lie and would be teaching your child that lying is OK.

You could pretend that you have the moral high ground, but you wouldn't.  You would just be a liar and a cheat.[/quote]

You sound unhinged. My kids go to plenty of friend's houses that are clearly OOB for our JKLMM school. I never think about how they got into the school. I can assure you the kids don't seem burdened by the fact they may be lying. [/quote]

Uh. Maybe they're not lying and that's why they don't seem burdened. Maybe they entered OOB legitimately.

Exactly. The unhinged poster thinks everyone is lying. Even if they are, no one has a clue or cares! [/quote]

Why is it unhinged to think ans say that lying is shitty and wrong? It IS wrong. It IS bad.

If I'm taking my Kindergarten kid to a playdate at an OOB house at a school that is closed to OOB students, you'd better believe I'm turned off by that.

They're liars. They think they're better than other people; that they don't have to play by the rules. "Moving in with grandpa" is the same thing.

I get that you're doing it for your kid, but it's wrong, and it implies that you think it's ok to cheat for your family because your family is more special than other families. Believe me, you're not the only family with the issue of living in bad to so-so school district. The fact that some people choose to solve that problem by cheating is reprehensible, in my opinion. Calling this kind of judgement unhinged isn't fair, it's defensive and it is suspect. [/quote]
