Maybe maybe not but there is most likely not one real world example of that happening. I can't fathom why a two lawyer family who paid DC prices to not live in DC would lie to send their kids to the system which is most likely why they refused to live there in the first place. Even the thought of some rag tag subsidized child care seams beneath them even if allowed in.

Well, that is because you cannot spell, or presumably, sew. Also because you are a nouveau riche person who aspires to live in potomoc, in a house with a lot of drywall and recessed lighting, and a six car garage

It's a ridiculous amount of attitude from two bickerers, neither of whom has mastered English grammar.

Listen up. Eradicating residency fraud will save a few bucks and may make some people feel better. But it will NOT:

- Guarantee that you don't get "shut out" of your PK3 choice
- Make any of the schools that still have PK3 slots any more acceptable to you
- Make it any more likely that you will keep your child all the way through 5th grade in many of the neighborhoods where people complain about PK3 slots
- Solve the terrible achievement gap still present in DC
- Explain why UMC kids get CMI, but low SES kids get Rocketship
- Provide a good middle school on Capitol Hill
- Provide a good high school on Capitol Hill
- Solves overcrowding at Deal and makes Hardy a more viable option
- Modernize all the schools that desperately need it
- Create a gifted and talented program that serves everyone and strengthens neighborhood schools overall
- Ensures that disabled kids actually get their needs met at DCPS and charters
- Meets all the demand for bilingual education
- Gives all students the amount of recess and outdoor time necessary for their healthy development
- or any of the other zillion problems discussed here on a daily basis

You sound like those Second Amendment gun nuts who claim that new gun safety laws are pointless because they won't solve 100% of the gun problems.

You do know we're allowed to address many different problems in different ways, don't you? Not every solution has to be the magic bullet that provides all the answers.

By no stretch of the imagination am I a "Second Amendment gun nut" but alas, I'm logical.

If gun nuts were the problem (and I'm not one - no guns in my house now or ever), we'd know about it. They're out there with their hunting clubs and gun ranges and whatever it is they do.

The problem is the inner city criminals who don't vote at all, and couldn't give less of a damn about the laws they're going to break anyway. So what if you take away your neighbor's gun? Your neighbor wasn't planning to break the law. That's now so much easier for one more registered lunatic to go shoot up a nightclub.

Does KIPP have schools in PG county?

[Anonymous]

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of parents who would kill to put their kids in KIPP. This is just really unfair to them and all DC resident taxpayers.

No.

Seems like it would be pretty easy to find the alleged apartment via a property search. My guess is she is renting it out.

Not yet. However Prince George County does have some charter schools.

I have seen it at schools in Wards 5 and 6 since I moved here 8 years ago. The legacy belief is cultural and ingrained. There is no political will to change it because the parents cheating the system in Ward 5 & 6 are black and to criticize the practice/fraud/theft opens one to being called a racist.

Where's the data or evidence that these are mostly black families? All of the suspected cheaters at our 2 HRCS's that our kids go to are white. Is this your observation and personal experience, or it's backed by evidence broader than that?

And I just opened this thread and haven't read article yet, so if it's in there, sorry, I'll get to it. But if it's not... what do you base your opinion that it's mostly black families on?

You want to do a story on residency fraud? Grow a set of balls and do a real story. The daily caller's is not.

1. Driving a car with Maryland plates.
2. Living in a house in Maryland.
3. Working in Maryland.
4. Declaring a Maryland address in court papers 1999-2013.

What was the evidence of DC residency again?

The evidence they presented to the school, in the year 2016. Evidence that you, despite digging through this woman's exes trash, are not privy to see. Because it is none of your damn business.

Did you show her proof of address in 2016? Nope. Are DC residents not allowed to work in Maryland? Are children not allowed to have parents with different residences?

And while we're wondering, I'm touched that living in Virginia, a state with almost no tax burden for its residents, you still care so deeply about my taxes. Not enough, mind you, to move into the district where you work... or pay your own traffic tickets, but still.

Fraudsters do wax indignant, don't they. Defensive, too.

NP here: this is exactly the kind of residency fraud apologizing that I was talking about on the previous page of this thread. They are quick and harsh to call those who question OSSE's effectiveness "nosey," "unhinged," and any other manner of put downs. It really does make me wonder if this is MUCH more widespread than we can imagine.

Look, the mother profiled in yesterday's article is a residency cheater. Straight up. The preponderance of evidence supports the claim.

Yes yes and yes!

Busted!! The Daily Caller is barely scratching the surface of all the cheating from Maryland going on. The breezy, matter-of-fact attitude the woman displays in the article is appalling. She doesn't even consider that what she is doing is wrong.

Until we figure out how to educate people about the cost of cheating it won't stop. These are not uneducated or undocumented people but working class folks who have convinced themselves that this is ok.
