Yet this thread isn't about people's anger that poor areas are getting the benefit of tax dollars from wealthier individuals, instead it is about someone who can't afford to live in a certain area having the nerve to care enough about their child's education that they try to find a way to get access to a quality public school.  The key here is that it is public school. if people want to be exclusive about who attends the school then they should pay to send their child to private school.  But people acting like they get to corner the market on PUBLIC schools is mind-blowing to me.

If those who cares about their child education finding a LEGAL way to get to better school (COSA, special program, you name it) - I have no problem with that 
I guess OP of original topic wouldn't mind that too.  
Fraud covered by child's best interest is still fraud no matter how you phrase it.[/quote]

And if there is no legal way? Then the child should be stuck in a failing school? We as a society have failed when children don't have access to a decent public education, it is not the parent who cares enough to try to seek out other options when that happens.

I hope you are just as angry when people prep their kids to get into HGCs that they probably wouldn't otherwise get into, since we are strict about going by the book and all. [/quote]
I'm not angry at all
1. Several posters in this topic already mentioned that overall MoCo schools are good, so I don't think you can find really 'falling school'
2. There are always a legal way if you truly worried about your children education - just set your priorities straight: get a small townhouse in W cluster vs huge SFH, rent an apartment; if you brock - subsidized housing available too.  One of the main thing you teach your children - is honesty, fraud  is not an option, really.
3. Yes, I kind of don't like too much prep for HGC testing (and it some parents went wild after 2.0 rolled out), especially for 3rd graders - it kills the idea. But I don't want to start that discussion about intelligence vs knowledge.[/quote]
