Why is this cheating? In many cases pupil placement is now full due to FCPS's own mismanagement, and so we have lost our right to request a pupil placement. Why must I be penalized and lose that fair privilege to pupil place just because we're aging into the HS age at a later time than people who pupil placed before us? It's not fair that we have lost this opportunity.[/quote]

Why shouldn’t everyone at the title 1 school get to go to a wealthier school, under that logic? Why are you special? [/quote]

+1 Poors need to stay in schools for poors. FCPS spent a lot of effort drawing lines to avoid mixing. [/quote]

OP isn’t poor. They would rather have multiple rental properties than send their kid to a school they deem good in a legal manner. There are lots of families at title 1 schools who would love to send their kids to a wealthy school but they can’t and don’t try to bend the rules like OP is.[/quote]

If OP could afford to live in one of their houses in a better district and rent out their house in the worst district, they would. [/quote]

If OP can afford to own multiple houses in NoVa they can afford to live full-time in the one in the better school district. This isn’t some low-income family. OP should sell the properties they can’t afford if need be. [/quote]

+1. This is what we did and if I find out someone is participating in residency fraud in my overcrowded pyramid I will be the first to rat on them. [/quote]

How do you expect to find out and rat one someone? Teens with their attention spans don't care about any of this. [b]I tell my kid to tell anyone who asks that he transferred there because his relative works at the school doing IT.[/b] That's literally the end of their conversations.[/quote]

Bet you'll also tell your high schooler, when the time comes, that it's fine to lie, "fudge" and pad on his or her college applications, too. Maybe have that "relative in IT" write some recommendation letters.
