[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why everyone gets so up in arms about residency cheaters. From a city-wide budgeting standpoint, of course -- the kids cost the city money & their parents aren't paying taxes. The are breaking the rules, absolutely.

But how does the presence of a kid (or multiple kids) who lives in PG adversely affect the learning environment within a classroom, or the overall school atmosphere?

The top privates in DC are full of kids from Maryland and Virginia, but no one argues that they are detrimental to the school environment.[/quote]

The objective is to make the school attractive to high-SES whites by cutting down on the number of low-SES blacks.  A crackdown on residency is a quick and legal shortcut.

If it causes more tension of the variety that can be called "race-baiting at PTA meetings", oh well, it's for the good of the school.

And if any "good" black families who happen to live in the neighborhood are made uncomfortable by any of this, one of these good white parents has the name of a good black realtor in Brookland that you can call.[/quote]
