[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone at our DCPS recently mentioned that she wanted her DS to go to Deal (their home is out of bounds) rather than continue in the current K-8 program.  I told her the lottery will be tough.  She said she plans to use the address of an efficiency apartment she owns in boundary.  I wouldn't have expected this from her.  Seems the school will have a difficult time knowing she lied, unlike with the birth certificate of a sibling. Point being that lying seems to be an unethical hurdle that some easily cross over.[/quote]

Since she owns it and pays taxes on it (in addition to the taxes wherever her 2nd residence is) she may feel like it's fair enough.  Frankly, this is a small deal.[/quote]

If it would take up a space that otherwise might go to someone in the lottery then maybe it isn't such a small deal.  Not sure a small lie vs. a big lie should be how people look at situations of right and wrong.  What about using a relative's address, a little bigger lie.  I think where a dc attends school is supposed to be based on "residence" or position in the lottery.[/quote]
