[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]

Go away.

The residency fraud applies to the public charter schools as well. I am an FCPS elementary school teacher who lives in DC. I would stack my kids' charter school against any FCPS school in a minute. What I hate is folks who do not live here and pay taxes to scam the system. I know of a few families that have tried this at my kids' school. They lived in MD, but the mom worked close by. If you do not live in DC, then you don't get to use the public schools here.

And as another poster said, there is FREE school for PreK 3 in many schools. All day. That's well over $10K in yearly savings in childcare costs. [/quote]

Just out of curiosity,[b] how do you feel about illegal immigrants receiving benefits, including free school?

Are you planning to report them too to the residency fraud hotline?[/b][/quote]

Actually PP, no I won't. In Plyler v. Doe, the United States Supreme Court in 1982 ruled that it is unconstitutional to deny children of undocumented immigrants a free, public education. To deny them was in violation of the 14th amendment. Any resources saved by denying them were far outweighed by the harms imposed on society at large from denying them any education.

If you'll excuse me now, I need to prepare for my job. Today is our first day back as teachers. I trust you'll continue on with your sad, ill-informed existence. [/quote]
