This.  MCPS does not have the resources to go after this.

We know of several families that have done this over the years without any consequences.

It’s not a big issue.  [/quote]

It's ok to commit fraud, if the odds are that nobody will catch you?[/quote]

I’m pretty sure lots of people feel that way.

I’m an immigrant and in most other countries around the world, rules are just ‘suggestions’.  Anything can be purchased with a bribe and you can work your way around rules that you don’t like.  At least, that’s how it is in my home country!

My kids attend the schools they are zoned for but we know of several families in my ‘cultural community’ who work their way around this.  Like the PP said, MCPS can’t ask for proof of citizenship and so they’re also somewhat lax in asking for proof of residency.  And at least IME, it is very easy for these families to get a utility bill sent to a different address.  Any family member or close family friend is willing to help out!

Yes, my grandmother (who grew up in Russian Poland) also had this cultural belief. She thought that rule-following was for children and fools. But the cultural belief in the US is different -- or at least it used to be.[/quote]
