2. Borrowing someone else's address. This is wrong, but we all know that people do this.[/quote]

I don't know anybody who does this either. I would take a dim view of the OP if the OP did this. And I wonder what the OP's husband would say if the OP said, "OK, we won't move, and we won't go private; we'll just lie! And, well, if we get caught, we'll have to pay a lot of money, but let's not worry about that right now."[/quote]

It is something that is done secretly. Not something you brag about. This could be happening but you are not aware of it. If you've never been to child's best friend's house, this could be the reason why. There are recent posts about sneaking in DC public schools (especially for those that live in bad MD school districts). Also it might not be a black and white thing. Suppose grandma or your babysitter lives in McLean. So it is less dishonest for the child to go to a McLean school and then go to babysitter's house after school for a couple hours. Or maybe even spend the night sometimes.[/quote]

I'm not sure if there is such a thing as "less dishonest"? Especially from the point of view of the school district, when it catches you and sends you a bill. Non-resident tuition for MCPS in elementary school is over $14,000 a year.

I don't know about the Virginia school districts, but in Montgomery County, if there's a reason for you to go to a different school, like childcare arrangements, you apply for a Change of School Assignment.[/quote]
