All children have the right to be educated. In our country, we have public education -- and it should be free for all, regardless of their status. What her mom and stepdad have done or not done is irrelevant, she shouldn't have to suffer. It's the school board that's the problem, IMO. Just because someone is here illegally doesn't mean they shouldn't be allowed basic services -- I feel the same way about health care, for that matter. I don't care what their story is, they're human beings, and this is Canada -- we should treat people better, regardless.
I'll leave my opinion of the mom and stepdad out of this, however.
