Then nobody is cheating and everyone's happy. Problem solved![/quote]

Sorry, they will still be perceived as cheaters, even if what they did was technically legal. It’s called gaming the system, which in most people’s minds is pretty close to cheating. They would prefer to have a classmate who actually lives in that apartment.[/quote]

Well can't please everyone. I guess it's a good way to weed out the pearl clutchers anyways.[/quote]

Wait, until they learn about how the economy actually works. The people who game the system are nearly always the winners. [/quote]

Seriously, I'd be impressed if I saw someone beat the system. The lottery SUCKS for all of us that don't have the money for a house in Ward 3. Good for anyone that figured out how to make the system work for them. [/quote]

+1. The only people I blame are DCPS for having only 1 traditional high school that could be considered even remotely acceptable to families who have aspiration for their children to attend and do well in competitive 4 year colleges [/quote]

You do realize that Wilson is only “acceptable” because people who live in the neighborhood have been giving it a chance for years. EOTP schools will never reach that status of acceptability if neighborhood families of means keep using escape hatches to W3 and charters.[/quote]

Now this is hilarious!! Oh the great white savior that makes sacrifices to attend their neighborhood school in a neighborhood that is 85% white at 0% low income! Love how you look down at those that don’t want to actually go to Dunbar.

Obviously the situation is very different and nobody wants to send their high achieving kid to Dunbar, but the point remains that schools EOTP will never improve if higher SES parents, black and white, keep opting out. How do you think things can ever change? DCPS cannot just start offering courses geared towards high achievers when none ever attend. Maybe it’s unsolvable and we just need to keep cramming everybody into Deal and Wilson.[/quote]

Still pretty obnoxious for parents who weren’t exactly in the vanguard at Wilson to lecture the rest of us on how to fix our schools.[/quote]
