[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Diplomats do not pay taxes, neither do non-US citizen World Bank/ IMF/ IADB Staff. Not only that, I remember going shopping with an Embassy friend, long time ago. They do not have to pay sales taxes on their purchases. But kids can attend public school, just like any kid. Not only that, what amazed me was that we had a diplomatic family who just moved to DC (this was a few years back), and [b]the kid got into PK-4 with the lottery, without speaking a word of English. While several long-time, tax-paying, DC residents did not get in. [/quote][/b] If the kid got in through the lottery, it was a legitimate entry. Ability to speak English is not a prerequisite for public education. [/quote] +1.[/quote] That's fine, did not effect me; we got into Pk-4; just felt bad for the kid who did not and did not find it fair. [/quote]
