[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not easy to register a student in MCPS.  A parent needs to present paper proof of citizenship and the relationship of the adult with the child so the birth certificate is the only proof can be used.  If the child lives with a parent who is in the US legally on a visa, the visa has to be valid and presented to MCPS.  A lease, a property tax bill, and two additional proofs of residence are needed.  Record of imminization is also needed.  
An exchange student comes to US on a student visa so s/he is here legally.  A foreigner who lives in the US legally on a visa is not entitle to any benefit an illegal immigrant has. [/quote]

Are you kidding me?  There were 13 kids registered in one day at my MCPS ES.  Those idiots just show up on the first day of school and don't even register them.  My DD's K class went from 23 to 27 kids in two days.  Those new 4 kids couldn't speak a lick of English.  Do you think that is fair to do to teachers.  The county allotted 4 teachers and by day 2 we needed 5 and didn't get it.  We did get another half time ESOL teacher.  We had 1.5 about 8 years ago and now have 4 of them.  This is Rockville.  It sucks.  [/quote]
Rules are made for people who follow them.  if there are enough mass, mob mentality works all the time.
I helped a mom visiting the US on a visa to register her child in MCPS, after she visited the central office twice on long bus ride, because of missing right documentation.  She has passports and valid visa and a lease, but MCPS needs her to show bank statement or ultility bill as additional proof of address.  She needs to show that she is the mother of her child because there is no such information on their passport.  If she could not bring immunization records, her child would need to get a the shots required before the kid can enter a classroom.
Please tell me how the kids have no parent could do all of these before they show up in any MCPS school?[/quote]

International students aren’t registered at Central office. [/quote]
