[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why you might see Maryland license plates at pick up/drop off:

-Nanny/babysitter/carpool with the driver being from Md.
-Lazy parents: move from Md to DC, too lazy to actually change registration.
-Split home: mom has primary custody of kids, but dad drops kids off on Mondays/ picks up on Friday (etc)
-Relitives: grandma decides to drop grand kids off once and a while. Etc.
-Actual cheaters coming in from Virginia.

When my DS was a student at Walls, he often got a ride from a family friend who lives just across the line, and who worked two blocks from the school. It was easy, and we lived in DC, but he would be dropped off from a car with Md plates. The horror![/quote]

The point is, if a student is regularly being dropped off and picked up in a car with MD (or VA) plates, the school needs to investigate.  Perhaps there'a a perfectly reasonable and legitimate reason (although not registering your car in DC is not one!).  But if there's non-residency cheating going on, it needs to be addressed right away.  Methinks sometimes that those who offer all sorts of excuses for the large number of out of state cars transporting students don't want anyone to look to closely.  If there's nothing to hide, then there's nothing to worry about.[/quote]
