From the Paper:

"Meanwhile, aside from the fact that many children have had the strong desire to study, there have been a lot of issues concerning the approaches to make use of the said right. Standardization on who, where and when can one avail of the said rights. There have been questions about the legalities and the documents that needed to be passed so as to provide proof that one is legitimate to enjoy such rights. Thus, apart from the enjoyment that this right has given to people, there are those who experienced chaos and confusion. This is because there are states in the US where there are strict guidelines as to which school follows the said Equal Education Opportunity Act and which children can only avail of that. The main reasons for imposing such limitations are the unavailability of teachers and/or facilities and rooms to accommodate possible huge number of enrollees. Meanwhile, there are some states who are very lenient in accepting students who are trying to avail of their rights to be educated, as stated in the Equal Education Opportunities Act of 1974. Hence, in as much as the US government would want to implement a fair and legit education opportunity for all, there are still some who complained that there is unfair or unequal treatment with the way the policy is being implemented."
