[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Maryland plates” may come across as racist, but “Virginia plates” would be just as bad - families that don’t live in DC, clog the streets/double-park on a regular basis, and are often no-shows when it comes to volunteering, attending events and parent-teacher conferences.

Do you think public school parents in Chevy Chase, MD, would be happy and expected to put up with Chevy Chase, DC, families using their public schools as if it were their right just because another family member (from a different generation) attended and it was convenient for them on their way to work farther out in MD? How about families in SE attending schools in Alexandria just because it was easy to go over the Wilson Bridge?

Why is DC supposed to just take the lame alibis and go along with this? [/quote]

Do you know that MoCo schools has a 9-person office policing residency fraud in their schools? The flow of students goes both ways. [/quote]

this is a red herring.  Yes there are instances of residency fraud, but on this board it's used bluntly to denigrate AA families as somehow lawless and some schools less desirable because of this often baseless allegation.

It reminds me of another kind of questionable public smear -- make up an allegation that plays on inherent bias and  really can't be proven or refuted, then repeat it loudly and often to try to shape reality.  The residency fraud loudmouths on DCUM are borrowing from the loudmouth in chief's playbook on immigration and many other topics.[/quote]

You obviously have no experience with SH. In the mornings, there is a line of cars with MD plates on 4th and 5th streets, stopping traffic to drop their kids off around the corner from the entrance to the building. The DC plates pull up out front on E St.

The other parents know. The neighbors know. The school administrators know. I’m sure the DC government itself knows. [/quote]

bullshit
