[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Poor people will always scrap and steal for bread. The "eat the moldy loaf we gave you" will never curtail that nor will telling them they weren't invited to your buffet feast.  And i don't have a problem with it, what i do have is the middle class peeps from PG and the gentryfiers who buy in a moldy area and then feel entitled to cheat as part of their initial plan. If you shoot your load and buy in Brightwood to get new construction, you should go to brightwood schools. If you live in PG, you should go to PG schools. If you live in SE and are historically poor, the city should let you pick where you want to go[/quote]

What about the middle to upper class people that are just trading up for a "better" piece of cake?

It is a problem but DCPS doesn't care for many reasons. [/quote]

Boundary cheating just isn't easy to pull off.  School communities are small and cohorts stay together for many years, the word gets around, enrollment docs must be submitted annually and investigations do happen.

I'm not convinced that UMC parents trading up is in fact all that common, there are too many good charters to lottery into for them to take the risk. DCPS has much better things to do than hound UMC families who own more than one residential property and pay plenty in property tax.

Find a more pressing issue.
