Maybe the family couldn’t afford to live elsewhere.
If the facts stated in this article are true, I think she’s right to sue these so-called ‘educators’.
I think the parents were new to the area (from Puerto Rico) and did not realize how bad the Hartford schools are.
What some families do to avoid the Hartford public schools is very clever.
They will have some family member (often a grandma) live in a nearby town with good public schools. Then the kids claim grandma’s house as their “address”.
It is a pain for the parents to drop the kids off early morning and pick the kids up at grandma’s house in the late afternoon each school day but the Hartford schools are so awful it is worth it.
