[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]a lot of dc families live in rental housing (genuinely live there not just to game the system).  a lot of families get divorced etc.  a lot of families move from a smaller home to a larger home or down the street to lower cost rental building etc.  the policy provides a measure of flexibility/school choice (you can go to the new in-boundary school or stay at the old one).  its not an overall bad policy simply because a (small) minority might “game” the system as proposed by op.[/quote]

You cannot justify the policy based on a myriad of circumstances that make life harder for people while simultaneously accusing people of “gaming” the system. They’re doing the same thing. For whatever reason, it’s not possible or it’s inconvenient to live in-boundary for the entire duration of school, so they rent IB for a short period of time. That’s no more or less morally right than the person who decides to move for cheaper rent or because they’re decide to divorce they’re crappy husband. If it’s ok for those folks, it’s ok for everyone.

And this is why the policy is stupid. [/quote]
