[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No need to feed the troll. We all know that this particular poster has a very specific perspective that we have heard MANY times before. [/quote]

It makes one wonder if those who try to shut down this issue are themselves non-DC resident fraudsters who are afraid of exposure.[/quote]

My concern is that this always seems to come up at Hearst. There have been two recent examples of residency fraud on this forum, one at Eaton and the other at Janney. I don't understand why there is so mich discussion of this issue at Hearst. It sems that OOB is being mixed with the notion of non-DC resident. Seem to be two radically different concepts.

No, it is because there is a crazy person on DCUM who brings this nonsense up everytime a Hearst thread comes up.  Fraud is NOT a problem at Hearst.  Might there be a few people cheating?  I guess, but just like any other school.   There are also grandparents, nannies, divorced couples, etc. at the school and some of them have MD plates.  End of story.[/quote]

There are a lot of MD plates dropping off kids at Hearst.  Grandparents and caregivers don't explain the number. This is a pervasive problem at DC elementary schools as you point out,even at Janney which is virtually all in-bounds.  It's even easier for out of District families to fly under the radar in schools where most kids don't live in the local area.[/quote]

Hearst is a very small school in which nearly everyone knows everyone. If non-resident students were a serious problem, it would be well-known within the school community. Given that you appear to be relying on license plates rather than first-hand knowledge, I assume that you have no personal connection to the school. I haven't heard anyone personally involved with the school suggest that there is an issue with non-resident students. Would you agree that they probably are more knowledgable on this topic than you are likely to be? If so, would you put this matter to rest?
