That is one reason why the “grandmother” ploy I discussed in an earlier post is very popular.
The locals who have lived in the area a while know the score.
It is a crying shame that we have made American citizens into lawbreakers just to try to get a moderate to low level of education for their children. Education that all of us are paying for.
Our former neighbors youngest daughter was not doing very well at her public school and so her parents decided to pull her out and enroll her in a private school. They had no idea the storm that this one small attempt to give their daughter a normal life would cause to descend on their house.
Because their daughter was disabled the public school got many dollars for sitting her in the corner and ignoring her and they were mighty peeved to lose that money.
It took almost 8 years to get the school district and the CPS and all the other groups that came down on them to back off.
And they were not even homeschooling her. The private school they enrolled her in was known state wide as one of the best schools around.
People have no idea how messed up the system is.
