4.  There are people from MD who are cheating and sending their child/children to LTES.

Current parent, thanks for your feedback! Much appreciated.

Regarding the MD cheaters... does the principal support efforts to remove them from the school once they are identified? And how do the teachers seem to feel about it?

It's worth noting the MD cheater history for those not familiar. When DC parents did not want to enroll there kids in DCPS, the principals relied on MD parents who did - otherwise, they would lose much needed money or worse get closed down. Now that DC parents WANT to enroll their kids in DCPS (their neighborhood schools) they are seeing MD kids in their class.

FWIW, I personally know of three (yes 3!) Maryland parents who work in DC but are planning to enroll their kids in a DCPS or charter school. It frustrates me because they plan to apply to the same schools that I'm applying to. They are each using a DC address from a family member and it will be difficult to track them down (especially since they each plan a believable and elaborate story). These families do not know each other but they all frequent the DC Urban Mom boards.

I'm just wondering if there's anything that can be done about it. I guess unless the parents, teachers and principals are all of the same page, it will be a challenge to change this direction. I guess some MD students in DCPS and charters are inevitable?

(Note: I've read - but never responded to - previous discussions about MD cheaters and I hope this doesn't turn into one of those heated debates. I genuinely want to know what can be done and/or if it's even possible given school administration/teacher's perspective on whether it's even an issue or not)[/quote]
