I think this is an odd list, but then I have;
Just go to your nearest school. -Gilty

Apply for a school that is not your nearest but do not move to get in. -Guilty
Pay for private school. - Not guilty

Pay to tutor your child through the entrance exam for a state funded grammar.- Not Guitly

Buy a house in the catchment area of a good school. Guilty. (But then removed chid)

Buy a house in the catchment area of an excellent school. Guilty.

Lie about where you live in order to secure a better school place for your child. -Not Guilty

Lie about your religion in order to get a place at a faith school. - Not guilty, and I don't see how this is possible, unless you count people who spend years going to church when they don't belive in God, which way you are exposing you child to the religion and regular church services, and the school/church should be chuffed about this, so is it really such a bad thing?.

Not much here either. But then, I only have dd1's school to go by and I'm rather smitten by it so far...
