[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]14:25/14:45 your vigilante mentality is creepy.

Launching whispering campaigns against fellow parents you've decided to "out" could easily lead to those with legitimately complicated residency situations (e.g. legal separation, divorce, relatives who are not the parents with legal custody, military and diplomatic families with one parent serving abroad) being hurt.

If you want to call the DCPS fraud hotline, your call, but your threats to take make life miserable for others whose motives for enrolling their kid in any particular in-demand, by-right school may or may be suspect are out of line!

In every case I know of there was more than enough clarity that there were not "special circumstances".  And frankly, when there are, then people aren't told to leave the school.  These aren't divorce/grandparent cases, these are people who simply don't live where they said they did when they applied.

If you're not cheating, you have nothing to worry about.  If your child spends a lot of time in the home you applied from, you have nothing to worry about.  None of the big deals I know of turned out to be legitimate cases, so no one who's playing by the rules needs to worry.

And as much as I understand people thinking I sound angry, I'm really not angry.  Not at all.  But I am being matter of fact, as I don't think people realize just how much this issue is going to be stepped up (and enforcement stepped up) in the next few years.  There is less and less tolerance for the cheating, and I just want to be clear that people such as OP are risking more than they think they are for their kids by choosing to cheat.
