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]

Yeah, that American value disintegrated a couple decades ago and was replaced with the Handout Era and I Get Mine mentality from anyone who dislikes others who have more education, better jobs, homes , cars, than themselves. Stick it to those evil white collar couples. Rich America can pay for it, the streets here are paved w gold.

And I say this as it is exactly what our turkish relatives think. We have money pouring out of our home. Never mind we each have worked 50-70 hours weeks since graduating in 2001, have two kids, student debt and a mortgage. I guess we’re the middle class suckers that pay all the taxes so the tippy top and broad bottom get their freebies.[/quote]
