Some falsify records to get their children into Boston Latin School
From The Boston Globe: History shows that some suburban parents go to great lengths, even resorting to lying, to skirt Boston residency requirements so their children can attend Boston Latin School, the crown jewel of the city’s school system. This week, the City Council is expected to take up a resolution urging the school system to tighten its residency requirements and allow only those students who have lived in the city for at least a year to take the entrance exam.
