This is one of those stories that makes me think our system and priorities are out of whack (please read the full article since I do not give it justice in my short summary). Yes, she "cheated the system" by enrolling her children in her father's school district instead of the one her house was assigned to. But now her children will be relegated to an unsure future instead of the 97% graduation rate of their old school and her felony conviction means she cannot become a school teacher, even though she was 12 credits shy of graduating.
Sometimes right and wrong is not black and white. Maybe this should have been treated as a gray matter and 3 lives would have a better future.
