It's amazing to me that American citizens and legal residents have to show so much documentation when enrolling their children in school and yet it's forbidden to ask if some are illegal?

Yep. Also, the immunization and medical records and check-ups. An undocumented family has to go to the doctor to get medical checkups for school, when they are too afraid to go out of fear of being discovered they can get away with not having appropriate immunizations or medical checks.

Yes, are these illegal children allowed to have the immunization requirement waived? From memory I even had to provide my daughter's transcripts from her high school in Australia when we enrolled her and also had to hustle to get her immunization records from Australia in time or have her go through getting shots she didn't need, just to comply.

It does happen. In my experience, it was just cases of bad management by a school or school district. Parents didn't respond and child kept attending school.
Although almost three-quarters of the children of illegal immigrants were born in the United States and are therefore citizens, had their parents not entered the U.S. illegally these children likely wouldn’t be in U.S. public schools and wouldn’t require taxpayer funding. Thus, it’s fair to say that their education cost stems from their parents’ illegal entry into this country.
No, it is not fair. The Fact is that these children are American Citizens regardless of their heritage; and no amount of "funny' math changes that fact.
The title of "Educating illegal immigrants is costly" is using tarnished numbers if they include American citizens into the mix.
If my ancestors hadn't come to Texas in the 1700's, I wouldn't have been an educational tax burden either.
We also need to stop educating Mexican citizen children who cross the border daily into border states just to go to school. One district in Arizona not only educates them, but picks them up at the border, and buses them to school.

If their illegal immigrant parents hadn't entered the US, they wouldn't have been born here.

'If,' as you say, it includes American citizens.

How were you an educational tax burden? Did your parents not pay taxes that go toward the school budget? If your parents had come here illegally, yes you'd have been a tax burden.

Funny math? They are certainly a by-product of illegal immigration, no funny math here.
Most of these so called "illegal alien" children are U.S citizens. Would you prefer it if we rounded them up and put them in internment camps instead? I am sure that would make a bunch of you happy.

No, the right thing to do would be for their illegal alien parents to go back to their homeland with these U.S. born children and then when the child reaches 18 years of age they can then choose which country they want to live in. Can't seperate the families, now can we?
