[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After reading trough a lot of this I feel most posters can be put into three groups

1- black people who feel that not running some of the district's poor black kids through ringer who don't have stable lives to begin with is a priority even if it lets in some opportunistic cheats from PG who bank on blending in.

2- white people who are not the least bit sympathetic that increasing the rigors on residency documentation would hit both the poor and ward 9 because they think the issue is "black and white" about DC resources

3- the Dutch [/quote]

"Isn't a priority"[/quote]

And maybe there are some people who  simply believe that it being a parent involves some relatively minor inconveniences, like having to organize a small amount of paperwork, and perhaps take a small amount of time off from work, to have the government pay for your child entire education  while also taking real steps to prevent fraud that is draining DC's financial resources.  Maybe there are people who do not believe that this is overly burdensome on children, or that parents even need to alert their children to the fact that they are assembling this a documentation.   DC losing money due to the fraud of Maryland residents.  If the family is a recipient of services that are subject to fraud, like parents of kids in DC schools,  then those parents should reasonably expect to need to participate actively and antifraud measures.  Locating and assembling documents is just not that big of a deal and does not need to disrupt and already fragile existence as you seem to imply.  The parents simply gather the materials and submit them.  How much do you think we could improve the experience of DC student, my lower in class size, improving facilities, or providing better learning materials, with the savings from identifying fraud?   Are we really OK throwing all of that money away because families don't want to fill out paperwork and find forms? Or maybe even take time off from work one day?
