[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am still confused by the premise of this. Who schemes to get INTO DC schools? People who live in PG county?[/quote]

The temptation should be obvious for any parent who works downtown-ish, with moderate income, whose school district in Md or Va does not offer free preschool (age 3) or free preK.  Think of the literally thousands that family would save in babysitting or daycare costs over a two-year period.

And to your unstated point, it's not as if 4 yr olds are preparing for SATs, getting knifed in the stairwell or sitting among 14-yr old mothers with 2 kids already.  Stakes are quite low in earliest years. [/quote]

I didn't understand that this was really a bid for free babysitting. I thought we were talking academics here. People FLEE DCPS, not flock to them, so that was the source of my confusion.[/quote]

You don't understand many things it seems. Maybe you could stick to making pronoucments about topics you're more comfortable with? Howard County Schools? Scrapbooking? Or the relative merits of swim clubs in N Arlington. [/quote]

I understand plenty, particularly about you.[/quote]
