Sound Off: Double Standard In Documentation Requirements

April 19, 2006 by Chuck | 0 Comments

This is something I ran across at our County’s leadership training on Tuesday.

Did you know that if you are signing your child up for public school, you need a plethora of documentation…

Birth Certificates

Immunization Records

Social Security Cards

Etc.

If you don’t have each one of these documents in order for each child, you will be sent away to come back and register only when the paperwork is complete.

But not if you’re an illegal alien.

In that case, all these documentation requirements are waived and registration is immediate.

Why?

I was told it’s so that the school can get federal funding for daily attendance.

Isn’t it funny all the bureaucratic red tape we put up with to do business and conduct life when, evidently, it isn’t necessary?

I wonder how many other bureaucratic requirements we could really do without?

Just tell them you’re illegal and the’ll probably just waive the requirements.

Any thoughts on that?
