If the schools are not giving anything illegal or benefits they would have not gotten going to another school, then what the heck is the problem?

A) Private schools do not fall under the jurisdiction of the rules we're discussing here.

B) Other activities? "Dad, the college cello playing scouts won't see me if we don't change schools"? "Dad, our math club sucks, can I move schools?" Um ... what the fungus are you referring to here? (As to safety - no, that's not a problem. The kid is not being entitled if he tells his parents he's afraid for his safety and wants to move. Completely different scenario).
