[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are pretty certain that a number of the families who attend with my DD at an east of the park school in NW live in Prince George's County. They may be using an old address or a relative's. I think some of the moms are just middle class people trying to do right by their kid and not able to get back to PGC to pick up before afterschool cut off time, or are getting help with aftercare from gramma. Some move after a divorce. I know it's wrong but of all the things my DC tax money is being wasted on, giving these precious children who will probably live and work in this area their whole lives a better education is not a big problem for me. [/quote] The problem with this is that these precious children grow up to be teenagers with not enough supervision (from increasingly elderly grandma) who hang around my neighborhood at all hours, regardless of city-wide curfew, because they consider it to be their home turf. They are the ones tagging stop signs, smoking blunts on our public playground, and I worry that they are committing worse offenses. And then my DC tax money gets to be used for even more things. . .[/quote]
