[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is straight up patronage cheating possible? I don't live in DC.  My ex is friends with the wife of the head of the school board where we live.  Ex asked me if he should ask this person for a favor to get our kid into one of the highly rated charters.  I said NO because: 1) it's wrong 2) I don't want to be caught up in a future scandal 3) I like our neighborhood school.  Now my kid is part of the 6% admitted to the  charter.  Am I paranoid to think something shady could have happened?[/quote]

Wouldn't happen at our HRC.[/quote]

I've heard of 2 senior Obama administration officials getting their children into 2 different WOTP DCPS elementaries as OOB students outside of the lottery via the Chancellor. [/quote]

Chancellor has enormous discretion.  The above example would be unfortunate if true, but the principals pretty much have to take anyone the Chancellor's office insists on placing.  You'd like to think it's a case of bullying or special needs and not just blatant patronage.  No way to verify above claim which is nothing more than rumor[/quote]
