Adults Ruin Everything

Our Statue of Liberty carries the saying,“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” The city of Norwalk says "Get the %$# out." I know this because they arrested a homeless woman for using her babysitter's address to enroll her child in their school system.
In the world of education, where we are constantly griping about the univolved parents--especially of our poor and minority students--shouldn't we applaud a parent who wants a strong education for her child? I'm no legal expert, but a homeless woman using a babysitter's address just doesn't seem like larceny to me.

The funding structure for public education in Connecticut dictates where students are allowed to attend school. Even Homeless people have statutes governing where their child is going to school.

While I can see that someone starting a child in school might not understand the 'rules' or reasoning, taxpayers for Norwalk are not supposed to pay for the education of a child from another town. This is exacerbated if the child is a special education student costing up to 4.5 times regular student tuition. Such costs for a few children can expand the tax collection needs and affect townspeople in adverse ways.
