[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who cares? Certainly not DCPS leaders, the city council or Bowser.  As long as that remains the case, I fail to see the point of this shame game and all the hand wringing. [/quote]

Because it's dishonest and unfair to other students.  [/quote]

My kid is an in-bounds student at Jackson Reed and I don't care about boundary fraud there. If the "victims" don't care, why do you?[/quote]

Your kid is at JR. Personally I'd still be bothered by the way boundary fraud leads to overcrowding, but your kid is still at the best IB DCPS high school in the city, so I'm not surprised that you don't really care.

Meanwhile, there are thousands of families in the city who play by the rules every year, reporting their address accurately and just hoping they can get a spot at a decent high school, and making do with what is possible within the bound of the law and fairness. And yes, those are the people far more likely to be upset at someone who cheats to gain access to something that many people also want but, because they are actually following the rules, don't get.

There are also people who suck it up and move IB for JR, and I seriously doubt they are enthusiastic to hear that other families accomplish the same thing by simply lying on their paperwork.[/quote]
