Maybe because people just really don’t get how the system works in terms of the fact they really won’t get any money, maybe they have magical thinking about the money, maybe they just like to brag?
People do alot of stuff that I just don’t care to take the time to try to figure out why they are doing it frankly. Your friend and this scenerio is taking up a lot of your head space. Why? Is the idea of her sending her kid to the LAC unsettling to you (if they did manage to make it happen)? You feel more comfy with the idea of her child attending the state school?
