[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are these PK cheaters? Why would they otherwise want to be in DCPS vs their suburban system?[/quote]

I don't know.  There are at least a few at our school from Silver Spring.  I'd imagine in some cases they feel the DCPS is a better option--other times, I wonder if it's just convenience to their work.[/quote]

It's convenience to family for aftercare and pickups, too.[/quote]

Aftercare at some schools is relatively cheap.[/quote]

Yes, but it also kind of sucks, and you have to be there by 6.  Grammie is more flexible, serves dinner, plus TLC.  We have a parade of 3:30 pm grandmas doing pickup and it is adorable.  My MIL takes part when she visits.[/quote]

Picking up at aftercare in DC when you get off work at 5/5:30 is possible. It would be a LOT harder to get to Silver Spring to make a 6pm aftercare pick up.[/quote]

I love how you think all low-income people get off work at a reasonable hour.   [/quote]

I don't. I was simply pointing out that if the reason for enrolling the children is that the parents work downtown, they would have to pick up kids in aftercare by 6pm and it's a lot easier for someone working in DC to do that in DC than Silver Spring. Also someone mentioned that these were DC government employees, many of whom get off work between 4:30 and 5:30. But thanks for being an asshole for no reason![/quote]
