[quote=Anonymous]All the news about residency fraud at Duke Ellington and other schools in DC seems to have been free advertising to PG county parents, who are now piling into Appletree Institute with PK3 and PK4 children. At dropoff and pickup, the Maryland plates outnumber local taxpaying families by roughly 11 to 1...and that's assuming that all non-motor-vehicle pickup is local.

District suckers aren't the only taxpayers left holding the bag.

These children are ALL deemed 'economically disadvantaged' recipients of free food and subsidized care from federal $$$, those poor kids climbing into Cadillac SUVs from *gasp* last model year..

You might be thinking, well good, if these children are displacing poorer locals, my child will benefit as suburban parents might have taught basic manners or read a book to them before age 3. WRONG :thumbdown: . Welcome to the jungle that is your child's learning environment for his/her seminal years. The seats at better schools are all taken by other suburban kids and you must be content to have your child rot here or consider private options at an additional $13k+ yr.

Surely DC government officials might take some interest in an election year after which the public has seen so many stories of failures at DC's school including residency fraud at the highest levels? Nah..
