[quote=Anonymous]Diplomat here - we do not pay income taxes and most of us do not pay sales taxes either (depends on the country though). This is based on reciprocity (US diplomats do not pay taxes abroad either, and US Embassies usually have much more personnel overseas than we do here!) Having said that, most of my colleagues and friends’ children attend DC public schools (some go to Maryland or Virginia’s schools) and my son will hopefully get a spot in pk3 for the next academic year (yes, we also have to suffer from DC lottery stress even though in my country of origin I would have an excellent PK spot guaranteed, along with very affordable health care! :D ). Most people send their kids to the school close to the Embassy because that is usually our official address.[/quote]
