[quote=Anonymous][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.

Unless, of course, they're taking spots in a sought-after school that kids in DC are not getting.

I think that this is scamming, plain and simple.  There were a number of PG residents in my kid's DCPS elementary school, and the crossing guard once explained that they were the kids of DC government workers who had pulled some strings that he (as a DC resident) didn't have to get his kids into an OOB school.[/quote]

Why are those precious children more precious than the DC kids who didn't get those spots because PG parents lied to get their kids in?  I don't get it.  I understand that all parents want the best for their kids, but if you know you are lying/cheating to get that best, you cannot be upset when you get busted.  Those spots are for DC-dwelling children (or tuition-paying non-DC dwelling children), and I just will not stand by and watch people cheat the system if I notice it.  [/quote]
