[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid is 8/9 years old, they will make new friends.

I am moving a child who is going to start 5th grade in a new school and she is going to manage just fine.

What you are talking about doing is called FRAUD.[/quote]

Plenty of people do this to avoid bad schools. How is that fraud? By claiming that it's fraud,[b] you're implying that they are gaining an unfair advantage through deception to be somewhere they shouldn't be.[/b]

So the situation is that we have such bad schools in FCPS to the extent that some people are driven to lie about their residence so they can attend good schools? All so that they have an advantage over poorer kids who don't attend that school. Who is being defrauded? [/quote]

Sweetheart that's exactly what you are trying to do. Shut up with your "equity" BS. You are a cheap POS.[/quote]

Why am I cheap for demanding better schools? Again, you are implying that one must be wealthy enough to pay more to move to a better boundary. How does that make any sense at all? It's not as if the teachers themselves are making any profit from people moving in. There is no fraud there.[/quote]

The reality is that the better schools are in wealthier areas because the kids are living with parents who are more likely to value education. The parents read to the kids and teach the kids letters, numbers, sounds, and the line. The parents can afford good preschools. Their kids start K knowing most of the basics. Parents can afford to supplement or hire tutors.

Kids in less wealthy areas are less likely to have the same level of parental involvement or access to supplementation/tutoring.

The schools look better in wealthy areas because the parents provide more not because the Admin and Teachers are amazing. [/quote]
