[quote=Anonymous]Before the DCPS results and any of the charters came out, I joked about claiming an extended family member as my child's sibling so that she could get in to the highly sought after school that family member attends. Technically they are actually as genetically close as half siblings, but they are not siblings and do not share a parent or an address. Now that I realize that in a lot of cases ONLY siblings get in through the lottery, I'm almost beginning to regret that we didn't! That said, it's patently unfair to everyone else and I would feel terrible if I had tried to buck the system. I just couldn't do it. But I wonder, there are so many siblings in all these lotteries, are they all genuine siblings? Or do others lie about who is related to who? I hope that there are some checks to prevent people from doing this.[/quote]
