[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my kid's closest friends had parents who were evicted in April and had to move to MD because they couldn't find anything in dc in their budget.

It infuriates me no end that there are so many vicious mean-spirited people here who think taking a financially vulnerable family and a child who is thriving in a school out of it and throwing them somewhere else at nearly the end of the year... Because taxes. News flash: these people are paying less in taxes than you spend on shoes.

You want to talk next year? It's an issue. It's a screwed up issue, and there's one argument that thinks the money should follow the kid regardless of state lines (and I agree with that, seeing as I do, the number of kids housed in MD shelters near us--we are right on the border, on the DC side.) But mid year? Stuff happens. Stuff can happen to any of us. If you have such self righteous rigidity that you can't understand that, your kids have bigger problems than plain old pverty

I don't think anybody is upset with people in these circumstances. What I've seen at least twice is families who are well-to-do enough that they can use a rental property in the district to cheat their way into a school. I mean, OP started this thread to figure out how to commit residency fraud, right? Fuck off, OP.[/quote]
