Romney’s plan is totally ridiculous. So, a kid in a small, well off suburb will be unable to attend his local school because outsiders get in before him? Evenif they apply and get in once the locals are in, it wont work because there ,then, would be no more space or money for outsiders. Totally lacking in common sense.
