[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think previous posters don't understood why OP is upset and angry, but I do think they take issue with the OP's implication that suspicion of residency fraud shouldn't be reported because it might hurt others. People who report suspected residency fraud aren't typically trying to hurt someone, they are trying to protect spots in DC schools for DC residents.[/quote]

It is one thing to report someone to OSSE and keep it to yourself, letting the chips fall where they may.

It is quite another to gossip with other people about whether they too suspect Suzy isn't a DC resident and/or to take pictures and FOLLOW HER CAR HOME. [/quote]

I agree that the one person who followed her and took pictures went too far, but if parents at a school suspect a family of residency fraud they are going to talk about it [b]- if for no other reason than to verify that their suspicions may be valid and thus merit reporting in the first place. I don't think gossiping about others is acceptable, but that is the world we live in.  [/b]Chances are if one other family noticed a possible residency cheat, others did too.  For sometime now there is has been great suspicion that OSSE is dropping the ball regarding residency fraud.  While I do not think other parents have any right to know the outcome of a possible investigation, it is not unreasonable to continue to worry that residency fraud is occurring if you don't believe OSSE has done anything about it.[/quote]

So you're okay with parents suspecting and gossiping that you're sleeping with Johnny's dad. After all, it's the world we live in. So let's just spread all kinds of rumors to fill our fancy. [/quote]
Well, yes, if I roll up to drop off in the morning in the car with Johnny’s dad and wearing yesterday’s clothes, I wouldn’t be surprised if the bored old biddies start to gossip. [/quote]
