Solve : Jailed Switching Her School District? |
|
Answer» This story goes back to the start of the year, but it is still in the news. She was slapped with felony. If she does not get cleared she may become a hard criminal. You hardly get a decent job if you are a felon.If the Governor of Ohio does not give her a pardon, her life is going downhill. KELLEY Williams-Bolar My question: If she could have used a computer to do this stunt, they would let her go with just a stern warning. - Right?Here in England we have situations where people lie about where they live, in order to get their kids into a school which they think is "better" than the one they are actually entitled to. They do things like renting a small apartment or even a trailer within the target school district, or using divorced or separated partner's, grandparents or other relatives addresses. I suspect that racism and/or snobbery are at the root of many of these situations. If the deceit is discovered it can be prosecuted as a crime under the Fraud Act and the child expelled. I have little sympathy with that woman. She lied and she knew she was lying, to get an unfair advantage. I am not sure what your last question means. I don't know what it's like in other places, but here, fraud is fraud whatever means is used. Salmon Trout, Yes, what she did was wrong. She did vomit a fraud. My question was, tongue in cheek, about how she might have got away with it if she had used a better criminal plan. If ones wants to lead a life of crime, one needs to train for it. But she only got nine days in jail. That is not enough training for here next evil deed. The real crime is this: It is a crime that parents would come to believe the schools are not well suited to meet the needs of the children in a district.

You are confusing two meanings of the word "crime". One is the nomal dictionary meaning "fraud is a serious crime" and the other is the slang meaning "it's a crime that something I don't like has happened". Anyhow, I don't see how being burgled is a good enough reason to lie to the school authorities. But think of what a fine example she is teaching her kids.... Quote Everything was fine — at least I thought it wasignorance is not an excuse...Fraud is fraud, but it seems extreme to charge her with felony crimes. In the US, felonies are usually very serious crimes and more associated with rape, drug dealing and murder.

I'm not really sure how Geek-9pm managed to miss that detail.Now, I don't completely understand how the US legal system works, but from what I understand, she's GETTING in serious trouble for something that really isn't a huge deal. Yes, lying to the school board isn't nice, but it is hardly worth jail time (that was reduced/removed) and a major tarnish on her record...I'm actually taking a course next February-June in the Upper Canada District School Board, which is not my normal school board. But then again, I did go through the "normal routes," like talking to my guidance councilor... This is where UCDSB is LOCATED, over 400km away from me. Did I mention that it's an online course? Like I could commute over 800km every day for a whole semester... Quote I'm not really sure how Geek-9pm managed to miss that detail.I plead guilty - but only if you don't put it on my record. |
