[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, an obvious first order of business is to crack on the PG county kids. (assuming it is correct that many are at LT) If there is room in the school and they want to attend, they have to pay. Period. Not doing so is illegal and the school should certainly be held accountable.[/quote]

Sounds good, but it's far too easy for address cheaters to come up with a single utility bill in their name when they register.  Individual schools don't have the incentives, or resources to push back effectively, even if a PTA gets down and dirty in the fight  (little chance of that at LT).  Grandmothers off Stanton Park even chuckle about how easy it is to get grandchildren displaced by rising rents into LT.  DCPS needs to tighten up its registration system in a big way.  So what's an IB parents to do?  Tattle on suspected MD cheaters knowing that nobody much gives a damn that they're there, not at Ward 6, at LT, or in Central Administration?  I, too, am down on Tommy Wells; he's been passive on the issue.  Nobody wants to talk about race, but when almost all the administrators, teachers and parents are AA, non-blacks run a high risk of being accused of racism in challenging.  The crux of the problem is that LT isn't a very diverse community in a very diverse neighborhood.  [/quote]
