it was this way. You goto the school in the district you live. If you
don't like it you move. I know tons of people who had their parents
drive them to work and use fake addresses to goto other schools but I
can't stand that. If you need to goto a different school, go private..or
move to another location in the area you want your kid to goto school.
Then not only are you helping the school you attend through your tax
dollars you are setting a good example for a kid by saying these are the
rules and we must follow them. Or if its that horrible get in front of
the school board and get them to change their mind on the policy. I know
hundreds of people who would love to be able to pick the public school
their kids goto but that would be nothing more then basically
segregating schools again. Ohhh we don't want to got the school with all
the blacks. Ohh the black's don't want to goto school with the
Hispanics. Its stupid, goto the school in your area or find another
solution. You choose home school which was right for you.
What was "the kid" doing to act out? Lay out the scenario so we can
better understand.

I'm talking about the schools not the teachers. Many teachers are in
fact selfless and inspiring individuals (tho others are petty tyrants
who are passive-aggressively working out their frustrations on people
who are in their power). I am talking about a system that says it's ok
to fail a kid because a teacher doesn't like his handwriting and if he
acts out he is clearly the one who has the problem...
And I am not just talking about NM schools either. Montgomery County MD
was all in favor of me quitting my job so James did not have to attend a
different school, and that was the way it was going to be until I
started rubbing their nose in it. He was a white kid in the district of
a mostly black school and they weren't going to let him transfer because
of "the stability of the Gaithersburg cluster", even if his mother was a
single parent barely making the rent at the time when she *was* working.
You tell me that isn't smug bureaucracy.
