This is absolute and complete malarkey! First why does anybody have the right to tell you where you can send your children to school? It makes sense for a parent to care about the well being of their child and have them go to a place where they can get a good education, so why punish a woman for doing just that? There are many districts right here in my hometown of Baltimore that can only be described as cream of the CRAP overcrowded, underfunded, and full of teachers who just don't giving a flying fart in space about the students...and just a few short blocks away are schools with plenty of empty seats, awesome teachers, and plenty of money to use for books, activities, and maybe even some left over to paste onto the walls for decoration. There needs to be a way for children who live in poor neighborhoods to get good educations so they won't remain in poor neighborhoods. The reason for putting this Ohio woman in jail was because she wasn't getting taxed the right amount for the school? was her father being taxed enough because that's the address she used. Sure she may not have lived there but who doesn't know at least one person who's done this to right a wrong the justice system continues to ignore? What kind of school hires private investigators to follow a parent because they suspect she doesn't live in the district? They clearly have money to throw around so they need to stop with the games and own up to just being prejudiced, a classic case of NOCD. and secondly....she going to lose her job and her ability to become a teacher because she sent her daughters to a good school? WTH....does this honestly make sense to anyone? There are ways to tell people discreetly not to do certain things but putting a woman in jail and jeopardizing her career because she now has this so called felony on her record is absurd and disgusting. I hope the people who make these decisions in any state pray long and hard about how they ruin lives and break families apart because they want to segregate the poor from everyone else.

Yeah, doesn't her father pay taxes for that district? Therefore if the taxes are being paid than she should have the ability to send her children there. smh
