But for the exceptions (folks who have MD VA plates etc but whose kids are legitimately registered in DCPS), if anyone ever does report you, you just show how/why you're legit and you're fine.

It didn't help the girl who I gave as an example. She and her mom showed plenty of proof that they lived in DC, but the school system claimed she was actually living at her father's place.

That story never happened. Sorry, the "my friend's daughter went to school with a kid who once did X" never are.

Why the fuck is it, if this is some giant problem, that the only place I ever hear about this problem is on here? I have NEVER heard anyone complain about this in person, or on any other site.

You obviously don't read very much. This issue has been kicking around since forever. And, yes, it regularly crops up in the Post

I think most people here are smart enough to not buy into pp's supposed 4th hand story.
