There are several bothersome things about the article
starting with the reason why the mother is in jail: FOR WANTING A GOOD
EDUCATION FOR HER KIDS. Yes, that is the reason.
Why are we still at this point in this very rich country
where schools are so unequal that parents have feel they have to lie about
where they live?
What is also sad are the mean comments you see in the
article, people focusing on the wrong things. This was not justice! This lady
will not be able to teach in her state now because of a felony conviction!
Punishment is not justice and this does not help our society
at all!
“Mom
jailed for enrolling kids in wrong school district”
“An Ohio mother is in jail after being convicted of
tampering with records to enroll her children in a better school district.”
“Kelley Williams-Bolar, 40, of Akron, illegally registered
her two daughters at her father's address in suburban Copley Township to get
them into the Copley-Fairlawn school district rather than the urban Akron district, a jury
decided.”
“The Akron City school district met only four of 26
standards on the latest Ohio Department of
Education Report Card and
had a 76% graduation rate. Copley-Fairlawn City Schools met 26 of 26 standards
and had a 97.5% graduation rate.”
