[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]    3 is an example of a family buying their child admissions to a public school. It shouldn't be acceptable.

+1. I completely agree![/quote]

You can't live WOTP (like I do) and say that with a straight face. We all bought a tickets to good public schools with our more expensive homes.

Others spend money on tutors to prepare their children for entrance exams at schools like Walls.

Yes I can.  I bought my house IB for Oyster without taking a seat from a native Spanish speaking child.  My child (who was bilingual long before entering Oyster) entered via the English dominant lottery--because he is English dominant and a non-native speaker.  I could have easily lied to get my son into Oyster for PK (and saved us about $20k), but he would have taken a NATIVE speaking child's seat.  His current class has a majority of students with at least one native Spanish speaking parent, and it is a much better academic experience for him as a result. [/quote]
