[quote=Anonymous]As a teacher (in MCPS), my worry is for the physical safety and emotional well-being of these small children being tailed daily by strangers. When I read that the parents were taking evasive maneuvers to avoid being followed, I became worried that there will be a car accident. 
For over a decade, I've taught DC and PG kids attending MCPS schools illegally as well as MD residents fraudulently enrolled in a more desirable zone. Unless the child was a major disruption, I didn't care. Public education needs a major overhaul before I'll blame parents for trying to access whatever school best meets their child's needs. That includes the before and aftercare that parents with young kids depend on so they can work to support their families.
To me, these articles preyed on racial stereotypes and class anxieties, pitting the (white) parents who spent their life savings on million dollar townhouses against the (black) parents who supposedly live in PG so they can afford luxury SUVs. [/quote]
