[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really we are having a semantic discussion because if I believe the only ones "entitled" to a school are those that live in bound, clearly I don't think cheating is okay. Yes I think living in the district makes residents "eligible" for schools other than their in bound school. I think entitled and eligible mean two different things. People living outside the district are neither so clearly they wouldn't qualify.

You are free to disagree, but no I don't think all of this reporting and taking pics of license plates is from some concern over low SES kids being displaced. Did you see the post article some months back where people are hiring educational consultants to help them navigate the lottery process and find them the best odds? Pretty sure poor people aren't using those services. Hope you are also angry at those who are trying to give themselves an edge in the supposedly equitable process. [/quote]

As a DC resident and taxpayer, it annoys me to see services stolen. There are lots of better ways we could spend our money than on scofflaws. And, yes, there are some cheater-filled schools that are not coveted by DCUM, but still would represent a big step up for low-SES kids.[/quote]

other DC tax payer here. and I would add that if there are not coveted schools with significant number of cheaters (and I found some mentioned on DCUM in the past), it would still be great to kick the cheaters out. the schools would be underenrolled and could be closed (and this is why the schools themselves close both eyes, since they know that without the cheaters they would risk their jobs), and the money saved could be better used for DC kids.
