[quote=Anonymous]I swear I've been on these boards for three years and this comes up like clock work, generally twice a year - school starting and lottery time.

There is all this anecdotal evidence.  A couple of times in the past 3 years it's attracted some level of attention - there were hearings, right, at the DC Council, and some announcement about the investigative office.  And then it dies down again.

Seriously, I would LOVE to know how serious a problem it is.  And having endless anonymous people posting on here "it's a big problem! I see plates all the time!" is not a serious answer to "is this a big problem?"  Is it a problem at the early childhood level?  At charters?  At High school?  When and where?  Is it counterbalanced by the cheaters from DC to go to MD/VA schools?

What is the scope of this problem?  I am sick to death of venomous posts on this forum bitching about, let's face it, African American cheaters.  It reeks of racism and classism and there is never any hard evidence and it's all just so pointless.

POINTLESS.  It is pointless to bitch on here about big SUVs from MD invading DC.  Maybe it makes you feel better.  But other than that it's pointless.  Organize and demand some real answers.  Send complaints to your school.  Use this forum to do something - anything - other than offer the well I know someone who knows someone pointless anecdotes.  [/quote]
