good!

I hate school admissions fraud!

Not surprised.

That is quite some fraud.
Not 'just' renting somewhere or using grandparents address.

Good. People need to know that you can't game the system.

That is quite a story.

Sounds like the right sentence for a change

Instead of gaining an unfair advantage for her children, she’s messed them up good and proper. Her chance of a career too.

I have sympathy because it can be frightening worrying how your children are going to cope in some of the secondary schools in London. So many children end up with mental health problems, their lives damaged.

Not condoning what she did, but understanding how desperate it feels, being unable to send your child somewhere you can be sure they'll be safe.
