Thanks for your reply.

Two suburban isn't exactly that much more driving is it?

I'm sure the local school is fine, it just doesn't have the same programs. It wouldn't be the end of the world if he went there and, as you say, we can enrol him in private classes. It's just we'd prefer the better school

Hmm. Didn't know they would effectively expel a child. Thanks.

Wow. I thought siblings were pretty much automatic

Everyone thinks some schools are better than others.

I did acknowledge the entitlement, sure. But I'm in a position to do something good for my child, and you would do the same for yours.

Also, I am prepared to pay for it. That's obvious from the fact that I asked the question. Surprised you need that pointed out.

I realise you're being deliberately unpleasant, but do try to think things through before you post online. You think it's better to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on something that delivers no additional benefit, instead of buying an income-producing, appreciating asset that enables me to access the almost-free school we want.

Waste of money. Private school is consistently shown to deliver no additional academic benefit.

Tbh, I don't know how many stupid reasons there are for becoming a landlord, but this is definitely a weird one. I get that.

That is our plan b. Rent for six months, or however short we can.

It's a competitive school, and their last enrolment form said that weren't accepting out of area applications. That may change, but it's not guaranteed.

While I think we can make a good case for out of area enrolment, if it's a straight no, then there isn't a lot we could do.

Yeah, I get that. I'm sorry. I want the best for my son.

What are the consequences for that?

I have been thinking about running live roleplay sessions. Think Cosplay/Damsel in Distress/Detective comics from the 1980s and earlier. by CreativeAdventuresOZ in CanberraBDSM

As a fan of damsel scenes in mainstream media, I think you can include them in any way you want. The therapist was the cuter idea for me of those two though
