[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We see this a lot in my small city. I know multiple people who lie about their addresses . . . use a rental property, use the grandparents' address, or just use a friend's. Not going to lie . . . I do judge them because when I didn't opt out of the "undesirable" zoned school I discovered a thriving school that wasn't on anybody's radar because it had the "wrong" racial makeup. So that made me realize that all the pearl clutching and neck wringing was silly, and the elaborate steps to rig the process were certainly not worth the negative message they're sending to their kids and the risk they're taking. And furthermore, it just makes this beast of segregation never.go.away.

But have I ever reported anyone? No. These are people who generally can't afford to move or send their kids to private school, and well, it's the kids who would suffer most by being outed. I just try to talk up the schools and e[b]ncourage people to tour their zoned school [/b]before rejecting it. So much of the rumor mill is just a self-reinforcing endless cycle. [/quote]

Tangent, but I tried to tour our local school (Baltimore County) but they wouldn't let us in because of COVID, unfortunately. :-( [/quote]
