My favorite 'flippers' were the Brent parents who wanted to write a book/be honored with a parade for their awesome work of living in Capitol Hill and having school aged kids.

Or pumps up a school that doesn't seem to be any better or performing than similar schools. Always best to go see the school when this appears to be happening.
