Is NOBODY wrong in the post ? POST : I live in a city and my kids go the public school in our neighborhood, it’s a good school and we like it, but like all big city public school systems there can be issues etc.  Friends of ours applied for seats there in the summer because it’s in their zone too, got seats, but then decided at the last minute that the school wasn’t good enough for their kids and stayed in a private school.  This can really screw up people waiting for seats to open up since there’s a wait list for some grades.  Last month we found out they got their oldest into a different public school in a different neighborhood that has a very good reputation, is attended by a lot of very wealthy families who support the school beyond regular funding, and also has specific programs for kids with learning disabilities e.g. dyslexia.  They are telling most people they were able to get into the school because their oldest needed the special programs but told us and a few others that they really got in by using a work address that they had started sending credit card statements too to seem legit.  It pisses me off that they gamed the system and cheated like that and the parents seem to thing they did nothing wrong and are entitled to the seat in that school.  Their other kids will now be able to go their too because there’s a sibling policy.  There’s also one less seat now for a kid who really lives in that zone or needs the special services.  The school system has a anonymous hotline to report residency issues, I’ve held out from doing so in part because I don’t want to ruin their Christmas but am considering calling after the new year, WIBTA?
