I'm sure those kids were happy that their parents cheated and put them through that.
I'm glad someone noted this. Students do get booted from schools for residency fraud and told to go to the schools assigned to their real residences. Of course someone will come here to say that they know families who cheated all 12 years their kid was in public school and never got caught etc., but families actually do get caught and the kids moved. You may not hear much about it because schools don't particularly want to single out a child or teen that way--the student sometimes just doesn't come back after a school break or after the end of a quarter etc. But FCPS does watch out for fraud and will enforce the rules if it catches you. Imagine being the kid in that scenario, losing friends you had at your school and encountering questions at your new (correct) school when you turn up there. I guess the same parents who are fine with residency fraud are parents who will give their kids plenty of creative lies to tell abou why they changed schools.
