[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why's school so empty?  Well ward 9 couldn't make the drive. 
Just look at all the charters that closed. [/quote]

Great point, at least for neighborhood schools. We had no trouble walking 3 blocks.[/quote]

Usually they come early for before-school care.  I worked outside the polls on Election Day in November, starting before 7 a.m., next to the curb at a WOTP school that is also a polling place.  Nearly all of the early drop-offs came in Maryland cars.  It was very noticeable.  [/quote]

I realize that this won't cover all situations, but the almost 2,000 children who are legal wards of the District can be placed with a foster home within 50 miles of DC or with a family member who lives in MD, Because the kids are DC residents under the law they are entitled to go to school in DC wherever DCPS can place them. Some of these kids are in NW schools. Please be kind, although you won't know who they are, these kids have enough to worry about.[/quote]

This. OP has too much time on her hands.[/quote]

Always excuses:  The MD cars must all be grandparents.  Or caregivers.  Or divorced parents.  Or foster parents.  But they are just to numerous to be just that.  And then other incidents come up  and get reported (Wilson forfeiting a championship game because of a longstanding player residing in MD, the kid who asked his teacher 'what ward is Landover in?", the kid who brought cocaine to DCPS elementary school and whose parents challenged DC legal action because they were actually PG residents, the mother who sued her son's DC charter school in PG court because they lived there).  You realize that, if these are just the cases that get reported because of something else -- cocaine, a missed sports championship, improper sexual conduct at the charter -- then what about all the students beneath the radar?
