[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, I'm not a cheater.  But I understand the phenomenon after 30 years in Ward 6 and a decade in DCPS.

This has become a pointless thread. Super judgmental without being grounded in reality or focused on identifying the practical changes necessary to beat back the culture of cheating.[/quote]

You are the only person in the thread aggressively defending the practice of boundary cheating while offering no practical proposal to dissuade people inclined to lie and cheat to stop doing so.

Your lament seems to be that people can't possibly be expected to send their kids to weak IB schools so it is of course understandable if they cheat to send their kids elsewhere. It makes no sense. If you don't like the MS and HS options on CH, there are a whole variety of options to you within the rules. You can lottery into a feeder school for a MS or HS you prefer. There are charter MSs including some that are very well liked by the families who attend, like ITDS. You can lottery into one of the DCI feeders if you are willing to do immersion. You can move IB for your preferred school, even temporarily while renting out your "forever house." You can send your kid to private. You could also work with your neighbors to invest in your IB schools, if you are so deeply invested in your surrounding community, that's precisely how schools like Maury increased their IB buy in and built strong reputations in the first place.

It's entirely unclear why, given all of these options, you are still defending the idea that some people simply have NO CHOICE but to lie about their residence in order to cheat their way into schools clear across town. You are twisting yourself into knots to justify a choice that is not really justifiable.[/quote]
