Not having school districts seems to work all around the world....Macbeth wrote:
School districts exist for a bunch of reasons.
It's easier to keep track of students, funding purposes, track academic productivity, culture relations and on and on.
And yes it often does separate rich from poor but hell could you really blame the rich?
Not exactly blaming the rich for anything, but blaming the government for allowing segregation. Think of where a poor public school district has outdated materials while a rich school district is going to build gym.Macbeth wrote:

Parents aren't residence in the US (Illegals), but the child was born on American soil, making him/her an American citizen, but parents aren't legal residence in the States.Spark wrote:

I would've thought that in order to attend a school in a country you had to, y'know, live in the country.
i own a house, but have no children. why should i pay property tax to fund schools?JohnG@lt wrote:
A) School districts are propped up by local property taxes in their district. Very little comes from the State or Federal.

I'm wondering why it took the district that long to address it.
Rich district versus poor districts, this was the folly of the SCOTUS in Brown v. Board. The education issue would have been better handled if the court would have requried all funding be equal and achieved that by requiring state govt funding on a per child basis, instead of local taxation. Instead of stupid busing.JohnG@lt wrote:
C) While some of you may think it is inherently unfair that rich districts have more funds than poor this is a perfect reason for you to support vouchers and charter schools instead of blindly voting (D) every election. The Democrats are in bed with the Teachers Union. The Teachers Union has a vested interest in being the only racket in town. Hence it's extremely difficult to get approval to start a charter school.
You do realize we're talking about Mexican students going to an American school, right? Your argument might be valid concerning citizens of the same city/country, but it isn't when talking about non-citizens.Cybargs wrote:

It's a further segregation between the rich and poor.
If the kid is a citizen then let him attend the school by all means. What happened to America being give me your hungry and poor?
Not always. If the parents can't prove residency, that means that the kids may or may not have been born here.Cybargs wrote:

The article actually stated that it wasn't about their status as legal or illegal, only about residency.Turquoise wrote:

Don't need to teach that...it's genetic.Red Forman wrote:

Yes, but their residency is in Mexico, so that means that they can't go to schools here in a legal sense.Agent_Dung_Bomb wrote:
