[quote=Anonymous]OP again. Just to clarify again, I posed the question about a "right" because the OP in that previous thread about the boundary cheater seemed to be asserting a right. She said that she was bothered by the cheater because she herself had "compromised" on housing in order to get into that cluster. In other words, she paid an extra 200K to get that school spot and someone else didn't, so she feel cheated.

In order to be cheated, you have to have bought something that someone else got for free. I would like to argue with the idea that when you buy a house you are buying a spot in a good school. You don't sign a contract with the school when you move in. Boundaries can change, class sizes can increase or decrease, curricula can change, whole schools can close and new schools can open. Buy the house you like, but please don't think that your extra housing premium means improved county services, either in education or otherwise.

By the way, I am guessing that the Bethesda/CC/Potomac posters have noticed by now that class sizes there are averaging in the mid to upper twenties, and in Silver Spring they are in the upper teens. Even though those people paid less for their houses.
