I still have a car note, and I will not pay sales tax again just to convert my tags over.

Get over yourselves.

Well, you're breaking the law, so I have no problem if someone turns you in for possible residency fraud and you need to explain yourself.

Ha, so true! It's not residency fraud I'm committing, you idiots, it's vehicle registration fraud!

Wow, glad to see someone post for me. But yeah, I'm not committing residency fraud dumbasses. My paystub address is to the home I own and reside in, which is in the District.

When I moved from the District to PG County, my insurance rates went up considerably. Does the phrase "penny wise but pound foolish" mean anything to you?

Bethune isn't an HRCS - so these PG county folk ride under the radar. I'm bitter about a school that blatantly looks the other way when it comes to allowing MD residents to enroll and looks the other way.

I challenge anyone reading this to stand out in front if the school in the morning (not just drive past on their way to YY) and do their own audit and then come back and tell me I'm manufacturing this. I'm not

So now you stand outside in the mornings. and count the cars dropping kids off. Lol. You need a life.

You seem to have a lot of time on your hands. Do you have kids? Do you have a job? Or do you just sit on your lawn and count cars?

Very kind and loving teachers, and I was very impressed with the amount of assessment and feedback they provided about our child. We did not return only because we moved to a different part of the city. The parents were also very friendly.

DD also attended for PreK3 two years ago and it was a great experience for us. Smaller classrooms with 2 FT teachers per class. DD talked about Mr. Rivera and her classmates from Bethune for well over a year after we left! We moved overseas (returning this Fall) and moved to French immersion as a result, otherwise we would've applied for 2015-16. I would definitely recommend the school to others.

OK I used to attend and you're really exaggerating here. DC tags are most common. Yes, there are MD tags too. But most families are DC residents.

I wish! We're still overseas but will return to DC in a few months. Applied for Stokes, but most likely going private (Lycee Rochambeau). Our WL numbers have been dismal each year for Stokes so I'm not holding my breath.lol Fortunately, we'll have the results before deposits are due.

Our wait list number for PK3 for Bethune is around 10. Do you think we'll get called off the wait list?

I think so. A lot of people who have gotten in have said they are only using it as a safety.
