[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an OOB LT parent (in Ward 6, but in-bounds for Payne).

I have to admit I get really tired of hearing how OOB families (or too much PTA/principal deference to them) is such a terrible thing.

I am the parent of a child at LT, and as such, I think I am entitled to just as much consideration as any other LT parent, regardless of my address.

I think it would be terribly inappropriate for a PTA or principal to respond to parents differently on the basis of whether they are IB or OOB.[/quote]

I think when people are talking about "OOB" they are really referencing the "Ward 9" families more than anything else.[/quote]

As a mom who grew up in what is now referred to as Ward 9 but now lives on Cap Hill, let me inform you that such cliches are mutable (i.e., subject to change). I'm now a lawyer living IB to a now-fashionable ES that was not so popular at the turn of this century. That said, very few OOB families are secretly PG county parents stealing spots. If you're so fixated, start a S/O thread. Everybody, OOB can be a few blocks away or a few miles. The question is whether OP's DC will be happy at LT, OP has to find some criteria to measure that. If OOB is one criterion, that's valid, but the great question is what makes LT a better choice.[/quote]
