[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. The bottom line here is that if you “boundary cheat” you have to know that there are many parents who have had sleepless nights over whether or not their child would lottery into a “good” (safe) school. Those parents will likely feel some kind of way about you if they find out that you do not live in bounds.

I personally remember a family that lived in Virginia but worked in DC. They entered the lottery for a highly desirable elementary school using a friend’s address and got in. Right before school started they rented a house in bounds. So technically they were within their right. I met this family at a party. They were telling a group of parents jow easy ot was to get into this school and that they were only planning to stay a year when they applied. They seemed clueless about the fact that some of us who lived here for many years had tried to get in and didn’t.

It’s true that was in their right. But be aware that parents in DC often stress about getting into schools. So, be aware that the “shade” someone mentioned is really just disappointment about wanting the best for your kid and feeling slighted.

Definitely learned this lesson the hard way. It's a thing to do but not a thing to talk about, and you should do it in a way that maintains plausible deniability.[/quote]
