[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The public schools are paid for by the u.s. taxpayers.  I don't understand how a parent in S. Korea can just decide to send their kids to public school in the u.s. no rules against this?[/quote]  Yes, there are rules.  But, plenty of people from all over the world break rules here in the US, and plenty of Americans break foreign rules when they visit other countries.  The US gov't has better things to do than go after HS kids who are not committing violent crimes. I'd rather the gov't go after violent criminals, American born or otherwise, than spend tax dollars on going after HS kids from other countries.  After all the violent criminals are gone, then they can spend time and money going after HS kids that are just studying.[/quote]

Finally a honest answer. Yes they are breaking the ruleS but we should turn a blind eye to it because there are bigger problems in the world to worry about.

I do disagree that an American can go to other countries and get away with this. Most I'M familiar with rather strictly enforce their immigration rules.[/quote]

Get away with what? You buy or rent a residence in the US (that's legal, and it makes you a resident of the school district), and then you send your child to school on a student visa (that's legal too).[/quote]
