[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Replace "DC" with any state/government agency in the world and the last sentence would still be true.

Even a "good citizen" will at times pass cars and enter an exit lane at the last moment in a traffic jam, or submit tax returns that aren't 100% accurate. We all push the envelope in life, especially when knowing that crossing the line may go unpunished.[/quote]

I disagree that "we all" push the envelope in life. Are you saying you intentionally lie on your taxes because you think it's unlikely you'll get caught? Also I've seen horrific accidents caused by people who veer into the exit lane last minute, please don't do that. Just wait and take the next exit.

The school boundaries in DC exist for a reason and when you violate the law to take a spot at a school that you are not legally entitled to, you are harming other people. For some schools, like Deal and J-R, this behavior is resulting in over-crowding that is diminishing the experience of all kids at those schools and taxing their physical and financial resources. But also if boundary cheaters result in a school filled to it's max, this means that they will not offer any lottery spots, which means people who play by the rules and use the lottery to try and obtain OOB spots are deprived of the chance to do so thanks to boundary cheats.

There's really no defense for this behavior. It's wrong and harmful.[/quote]
