[quote=Anonymous]People's obsession with residency fraud is a great example of the availability bias at work ...

Listen up.  Eradicating residency fraud will save a few bucks and may make some people feel better.  But it will NOT:

- Guarantee that you don't get "shut out" of your PK3 choice
- Make any of the schools that still have PK3 slots any more acceptable to you
- Make it any more likely that you will keep your child all the way through 5th grade in many of the neighborhoods where people complain about PK3 slots
- Solve the terrible achievement gap still present in DC 
- Explain why UMC kids get CMI, but low SES kids get Rocketship
- Provide a good middle school on Capitol Hill
- Provide a good high school on Capitol Hill
- Solves overcrowding at Deal and makes Hardy a more viable option 
- Modernize all the schools that desperately need it
- Create a gifted and talented program that serves everyone and strengthens neighborhood schools overall
- Ensures that disabled kids actually get their needs met at DCPS and charters
- Meets all the demand for bilingual education
- Gives all students the amount of recess and outdoor time necessary for their healthy development
- or any of the other zillion problems discussed here on a daily basis[/quote]
