Not only do schools have the ability to deny their programs to students who are not within their district or who are not registered, but in the case of overcrowding, public schools can also cut off registration. Sorry if you don't like it.

What on earth are you talking about? We're talking about students within their own districts, where their parents PAY THE PROPERTY TAXES that pay for those very schools.

Your argument about hopping about between districts may or may not have merit (and I don't think it does); but it has nothing whatsoever to do with this case.

Think you're pulling a fast one there? Uh, not so fast: "Not within their district" does not equal "not registered." What does "registration" have to do with anything except the small recesses of a bureaucrat's mind? And, pray tell, why couldn't a part-time student "register" with the school just as a full time student, for that matter? Public colleges handle that situation all the time.

Sorry if you don't like it

The only thing that's sorry here is that you have such an arrogant --and at the same time, muddled-- argument.

No, my argument isn't arrogant. No more arrogant than your assumption that I'm being a "dictator" or whatever insulting term you chose to throw first.

And again, as sooooo many people pointed out in prior posts, "I pay taxes therefore I have the right to pick and choose among services" is not an argument that will fly. People who don't have kids pay property taxes to support schools too. Does that mean that my 50 year old neighbor gets to wander across the street to the elementary school and help himself to a school lunch? No.

Since you thought my earlier statement was "muddled," I'll try to use smaller words for you.

Government services are provided to people who qualify for those services. School age children who are not registered at a particular school do not qualify for the services provided by that school. Get it?
