[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only article I can find indicates that Stokes had 5-6 cases under investigation and one confirmation that there was a nonresident student.  Maybe there is more recent information you can point me to?  Either way it was not meant to be flippant, but I do view people that are in-boundary to be "entitled" to a spot.  I do distinguish that from DC residents that have options and choose not to pursue them because they want something they perceive to be better.  While I understand the motivation, I don't think you are entitled to a school you are not zoned for.  I am assuming for the charter situations that there is more going on than people winning the lottery under a fake address, and that should be looked into.  But at the administrative level, not by random people with a camera phone.  [b]And lets be real here, this fury over residency fraud isn't because of the low SES kids being misplaced. [/b] [/quote]

My anger over all kids being misplaced is very real. My middle class kid didn't get a slot and since I live in an area with lots of low SES families, they're kids got shafted too. It's a lose lose for all DC kids when residency cheaters invade our schools.[/quote]
