[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not creepy if your school is clogged every morning with Maryland tags.  Like Mine is.  The parents run in (if they don't just make their kid run in, so you never actually see them) and if you DO see the parents, they don't talk to you or anyone and beyond that you never see them at school events.  Then you see the same iffy scenario happening again in Pre-K, and you have friends who actually live in the neighborhood who were waitlisted.  I don't think it's creepy at all to be concerned about this situation.  Why do YOU think it's creepy that other people are creeped out by such dodgy behavior?[/quote]

Maybe the nanny is from Maryland and drops the kids off at school.  There are a million reasons why this could be legitimate.

When we applied our kids for pre-k we understood that even IB there were a lot of other kids who would get preference at our local school.

There is a fine line between supporting your child's educational experience and being a busy body.  Apparently this is not even affecting you, but you are tilting at windmills.[/quote]

If it's the nanny, then the question is easily resolved.  Residency red flags should be looked at instead of making plausible excuses for them.

Residency fraud affects everyone.  It robs sought-after spaces in PK from those who apply legitimately.  In other schools, it may take spots from Washington kids who are unsuccessful in the OOB lottery.  Less directly, it is a theft of resources and services from the school and a theft from the DC taxpayers.

"MYOB" and "don't be a busy body" are exactly what the fraudsters hope others in the school will do.[/quote]
