[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You go by Capitol Hill public schools and half the license plates dropping off or picking up are from Maryland. [/quote]

I really think it's more than half. I kind if want to start keeping track, because it really is ridiculous, and mail my findings to the Post. [/quote]

Also, don't forget, half of kids in DC live with single mothers; and that's not even counting the additional percentage of kids who live with single fathers.  So, it's fair to assume that a great number of those kids have one of their parents living in Maryland; and if it's more convenient for the parent or better for the kids if they go to a D.C. school, the parents could use the D.C. address of one of the parents to prove residency.  This statistic alone probably represents a good number of the Maryland tags.  Now, in order to get into a D.C. school when the primary parent has MD tags, they are probably misrepresenting the custody arrangement in some way; but I doubt DCPS really wants to police the issue that far in order to catch those people.[/quote]

Legally - they do not get to shop for which school system they enroll their children.  A parent has primary custody and the residency of that parent is where the child is enrolled in school. [/quote]

DC might be more flexible on this. A lot of people in Prince Georges are from DC, still go to church in DC or work for the DC government.  It's like having a foot in both places. For them sending their kids to DC PS isn't a big deal if that works out better for them.[/quote]

who cares.

we live in DC and my DH has been working in Bethesda for years, my kids takes classes at Imagination Stages on Saturday and Sunday, we go to Bethesda often brunch and for shopping, to Barn and Nobles and just to walk around sometimes. can we send our kids to a Bethesda elementary school? it would work really great for us (with DH dropping off and picking up on his way to and from work), and we are there so often it is almost a second home for us.
