Expelled Non-Resident Students: "Let Us Pay Tuition!"
---
Out of the mouths of babes...
What radical blind-youth thinking. Better providers should be able to charge more. Those who can afford to pay would pay. Those who couldn’t afford to pay could be subsidized by, maybe, um, vouchers?
What’s with these kids today and their newfangled ideas?
Some 300 students heading into one of the five high schools in the Fremont Union High School district were sent home early and for good Monday.
...
The school district is enforcing a policy that limits enrollment to only those students who can prove that they live in the district.
In the past, looser enforcement has allowed parents from as far away as Milpitas, Fremont, and South San Jose to do whatever they could to enroll their kids in the district. Many of them are drawn to the academic excellence of the district's five schools.
...
But the school district says it now has a budget crisis and can no longer handle the extra students.
...
But some students say there must be another alternative. "I think there should be a way how people not in the district can pay and still go to this school," said Lynbrook High School student Tony Perez.
What radical blind-youth thinking. Better providers should be able to charge more. Those who can afford to pay would pay. Those who couldn’t afford to pay could be subsidized by, maybe, um, vouchers?
