School residency cheaters investigated

I have actually been disgusted by some of the things I've seen DC waste money on--dcps renovation budgets are a joke of inefficiency. The metro is a catastrophe. Development is poorly planned and all reliant on these massive "projects" all meant to bring more bland retail chains into new buildings--which is supposed to magically make nice places to live... (Although the last is a million times worse in Virginia and MD).

But the daily caller is not a credible watchdog. As the lack of actual reporting in its school fraud stories shows all too well, its agenda is almost entirely concerned with calling out of country and mayor Barry "cronyims."--even beyond any logic or sense. And taken as such, that can only be code for. "make DC whiter, please, so we can feel safe leaving the panera bread in Arlington, to come to the panera bread on H street."

I don't know what a "cronyim" is, but somehow I'm pretty sure Marion Barry was one. What with employing anybody (he knew or could convince to vote for him) to any job (despite the obvious lack of qualifications) and the legacy of corruption (which ripples through the incompetence of Metro - even today). Know somebody? Get a job sucking from taxpayers. Know something? Pay up or move out.

Do you have these little paragraphs up on a clipboard somewhere, Virginia resident who does not pay taxes in DC at all? I bet you do.

Cronyism. Sorry. Phone. My phone typing is still more articulate than your journalism talking points.

- there are not students that live MD (along with both parents) who go to DCPS schools
- there are only a handful so the story was over blown
- it does not matter as long as children are being educated

No. I realize that after Dartmouth and that rejection from law school this daily caller gig was the only thing your dad could find for you... But my entire argument is:

1.) The daily caller did not publish credible stories with real facts about residency fraud.
2.) Anyone slithering around this site still repeating blindingly obvious points about residency fraud is not on a crusade to stop Maryland residents from benefitting from dc perks (a concept I expect most Maryland residents find laughable as it is, but that's another article.). They are instead just trying to further their, "dc sucks because liberals suck. And also the black people." Message.
3.) Speaking of that, are you sad you didn't get to go to Cleveland this week with the other indigo children?

Okay folks, calm down. The Daily Caller is c***p but there is rampant cheating at DCPS and Charters. There you have it!!!!

There's cheating. There's a method of reporting it, there are investigations, and despite what you might read in the daily caller, there are resolutions. This is, again, a blindingly obvious point that any moron should know.

But it's not a problem worth half as much outrage and spleen as has been vented here. It is not worth questioning your children's friends, because you see them in a Maryland car. It is not worth engaging in the kind of divisive ugly rhetoric that uses phrases like "pg county" and "Marion Barry," and "oob" students to lament that Larla didn't get into one of the whiter hrcs's when she was three. Find me one person who works at the daily caller with a child in a DC charter, or a dcps. Go ahead. Fine me ONE.

Uh... I'm not sure how that's your conclusion based on that report.

I just moved here. Don't DCPS schools suck, overall? What district in Maryland is worse that people want to cheat to get in here?
