[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. The school in question is a DCPS. Kid will turn 3 at the end of January and does not have any special needs. (I was doing an intake with the parent for a social service and I guess she could have lied about the lack of participation in Strong Start or Early Stages). Anyway, the school admitted the child in mid-September, so obviously they had space and are not a sought-after school. I just get so tired of the culture of cheating/lying. What are we teaching our children?[/quote]

Why are you assuming that this mother lied or cheated?[b] It seems more plausible to me that the school, which is not full or sought after, allowed the child to come in.[/b] So it’s the principal that someone would need to talk to.  Don’t you assume that the child is going to want to celebrate his or her birthday at school? I don’t the family would keep that a secret.[/quote]

OP here--this is what I was talking about when I said lying/cheating. I don't think the mother lied at all. I'm putting the responsibility on the school for cheating as much as if not more than the parent. I don't really blame the parent--she needs child care. [/quote]
