[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if you're here asking if it's OK to use your mom's address for a school, I'd wager that you don't have the moxie to pull this off.  In these situations, my advice would to be pay your DC taxes where you like, as long as a family member owns the house and it's not rented out.  Nobody's business but yours where you sleep.  Collect a stack of residency docs in case you're investigation for residency fraud, and don't advertise where your residency situation at the school you use.  If you get investigated, switch houses with your mom til things blow over.  If you need your choice validated by non family members, you're not cut out for this shades-of-gray approach to residency.  The holier than though moralists on these threads are blowhards who deserve to be ignored.

I respect you for at least detailing how this is fraudulent.  What annoys me is when people claim it isn't. [/quote]

Fradulent, whatever. We use a property we jointly own w/grandparents as our IB address. We renovated the house extensively, mainly through sweat equity and love the place. Kids stay there often. We tune out the small number of school busybodies whisper about us. DCPS investigated us and cleared us years back.  If you want to use a relative's address for IB, have the good sense not to talk about it, and to keep your chin up.  In the grand scheme of things, you pay plenty in taxes to the City and even the best DCPS schools are no great prize, OP.[/quote]
You’re a horrible person. Your ridiculous sense of entitlement harms people. [/quote]

+1.  I hate people who try justify to themselves why they should get to break the rules.[/quote]

I hate busybodies, particularly residency vigilantes.  I also hate senior DCPS officials who rely on busybodies to tattle on fellow parents to enforce residency, rather than designing and implementing a competent, if not foolproof, residency verification system for the 21st century.    If you could collect a stack of residency documents and submit them to a school registrar annually, particularly documents showing DC withholding, your family members should be able to sleep where they want without being hassled by anybody.

The strongest sense of entitlement that comes through on residency threads is that of parents with access to the most upscale DCPS schools who protect their turf with jealousy and venom. Ech. [/quote]

Yes, liars and cheaters hate being called out on being liars and cheaters.  It goes with the territory.  The kind of justification that you engage in is exactly the same that's used by people who are arrested for all sorts of crimes.  You think that you "shouldn't be hassled by anybody" because following the law in inconvenient for you.  I remember after the silk road online market for stolen identity details was shut down how all of the low level thieves actually went on reddit to complain that they were being oppressed by the government because they were "just trying to make a living" (by stealing other people's identities).  You are EXACTLY the same.  [/quote]

+1.  I love that the “hates busybodies” PP thinks cheating is justified because the systems aren’t foolproof enough.  She has zero concern about her personal morality or responsibility.  What an awful person.  [/quote]
