[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you people are in the schools, why the intensity to report? What do you gain? How strange the school community must feel, with every MD driver, a grandparent or divorced parent, who had a student legitimately enrolled but has to wonder if they're being reported for their license plate.

There has to be a better way ... [/quote]

let's see: DC kids can get the education they are entitled to, instead of be left on a waitlist (e.g. recent case of 6 cheaters found at Stokes, other cheaters found a while ago at YY); my tax dollars go to fund education of DC kids, and not of kids of people who chose to live and pay taxes elsewhere

the reality is that in some schools it appears that residency cheaters exist in good numbers. people who complain about reporting cheaters are probably the cheaters themselves [/quote]

[b]Kids are getting the education they are "entitled" to, they just might not be from the schools the parents "want".  [/b]Also, do you have stats that show that residency cheaters exist in good numbers?  I find it difficult to believe that given how competitive the lottery is that large numbers of out of state people are even lucky enough to win the lottery to get into these schools in the first place.

wow, you really needs guts to say somethins like this.  the first 6 kids on the Stokes waitlist did not get the education they were entitled to. they were entitled to get admitted at Stokes because DC residents and because they would have won a spot through  the lottery if not for the 6 cheaters who had no title to be there in the first place because no DC residents. especially for low SES kids, missing on a lottery to a good school is mising on the chance of good education, because not all the parents can go private or move to a good IB school.  and when you find out about the cheating one or two years later, especially in a language immersion situation, it may be too late, you can't simply go back in time.
