[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wealthy families spreading out is a good thing. [/quote]

Renting for 2 years is not spreading out.  [/quote]

For those two years they are engaged with that middle school community. No downside here. [/quote]

The downside is that the goal of racial diversity is thrown by the wayside.

The mantra will be that we are ok with 70% Asians now as long as they come from different middle schools. Any faux metric to declare success - be it low-income or anything else. What you get with politicians running the school board [/quote]

If they lock down on families cheating on the application and therefore are able to get geographical and economic diversity I call that a step in the right direction.

Correction

If they are competent enough to frame questions that are not open to interpretation then they might get somewhere.  Perhaps they were not incompetent but conniving.  They knew that the ambiguous FARMS question will help them get the press release they needed.

Ps: nobody cheated - they responded to questions after checking with FCPS.  [/quote]

Knowingly misrepresenting your family is unethical. Cheating. 
[/quote]

Agreed.  But that was not the case here.  The question was answered literally as requested.  Some with doubt checked with Admissions and we’re told it was ok to answer literally.

And before you jump to pointing a finger at me and my family.  Don’t go there.  If I benefited from these shenanigans I would like to bury the issue and not take it up for scrutiny. [/quote]

That was absolutely the case here.

Why did some even bother to ask the admissions office? Because we all know it’s wrong.

Misrepresenting your family’s income = cheating. 
[/quote]

The question was not about somebody’s family income.  It was about their eligibility for FARMS which during the pandemic was a yes for everyone.  So you can let this rest.  [/quote]
