So yeah, you should be alarmed if your child is regularly being shuttled from school to a house in Maryland. People are pissed off at the blatant fraud that is commonplace at some schools and that has gotten the attention of this click-bait website. Perhaps you should express your frustration to your councilmember, who might be able to get some answers out of OSSE, because "all that's required" is not enough to keep people from cheating the system.[/quote]

Again:  raise of hands/posts of DCUM posters shut out of the schools mentioned in the article: Ludlow Taylor, Eagle Academy, KIPP, JO Wilson?

Hello? Anyone?[/quote]

We were shut out of LT and JO Wilson, and, judging by our waitlist numbers, so were a lot of other families. I don't agree with stalking kids, but it seems clear to me that OSSE should be:
1) auditing all schools to make sure they are actually requiring parents to prove residency; and
2) thinking about how the "proof of residency" requirements could be revised to make it harder to fake residency without burdening DC residents without cars or jobs. [/quote]
