[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ I can see the distinction you're making.  But guess what?  Both families are cheating, and the fact that the DC family with 2 residences pay DC taxes STILL does not entitle them to cheat and lie to get into a better school.  Again, there are rules, and people don't get to choose when and which rules apply to them.

So you won't report those families, fine.  We still will, and without even the slightest hesitation.[/quote]

Those hell bent on tattling on cheating families seem to need a reality check on what happens next.  Not much.

If a principal wants a residency investigation done (and only if) DCPS Central sends an investigator to an address after arranging for one of the parents to let them in.  The investigator turns up at the appointed time, checks to see if a kid's stuff is in his or her bedroom, and if it looks like the family really lives there, which takes all of 5 minutes.   The parents may be asked to provide additional documentation proving residency.   That's it.

You don't think that DC resident cheaters make sure that investigations go their way?  They do of course, routinely.  Until DCPS gets serious about addressing school quality issues, creative address cheating is here to stay.

The fact that people get away with it doesn't mean it's okay. People get away with a lot of bad things. True character is making the right choice even when no one is looking.

Keep tattling, people. The cheaters don't always win.[/quote]
