What I learned this week is that if you want DC to attend oversubscribe secondary school it pays to cheat... we didn't but so wished we did! We have seen so many people pushing into the area and moving almost on the doorstep of fave school. It saddens me when I see people who can afford to jump the queue. We didn't get our first choice even though we have been in the catchment area for years. We see the catchment area shrinking every year due to queue jumping. Once DC is in school, parents move back out again where property more affordable and bigger and are guaranteed space for siblings thereafter.
How is that a fair system?
