(11,194 posts)That the rules for others shouldn't apply to you. Are you aware of how schools are funded? You can't really be so obtuse as to not understand why districts restrict attendance to those who actually pay the taxes that fund the schools. But then as a charter supporter, you don't have a problem with stealing money from local funds to pay for your personal desires. There are no schools in the country that allow non-tax paying parents to send kids to those schools. You pay taxes where you live. Those taxes support the schools in that district. People are accusing you of making things up because they gave you credit for understanding the simplest of situations. Let's try this. Try imagining how to fund schools if any child could attend any school anywhere without regard to who pays for the schools.
I moved three times in my career to have my children in districts where I wanted them to go. It cost me to do so, but I thought the kids were worth it. I didn't expect for people in a district to pay for my kids. That is my responsibility. Your responsibility is to understand the way the world works and not expect to be taken care of by other people's taxes.
Your child was not allowed "in theory" to attend public schools. She was allowed - period. You chose not to use that venue. You chose to not move to a place where you could provide your child with a public education. That is a far cry from being "denied" access. Sheesh. Such drama for a decision you made.
Just how does your charter work? You claim they get less money than local schools. Where do they get that money from? Every charter in our list receives funds from either private sources or from local districts. If the money comes from local districts, they do not accept children that do not pay taxes there. Again you seem to be attending a magical school, one that defies any connection to any other, that avoids the laws of economic reality, one that has never been audited by anybody anywhere, one that seems almost - I don't know - maybe imaginary.
