[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sigh, DCUM's pocket delusion that DCPS attracts millions of Maryland students, because it is so great, just because one of You'll see a kid get out of a his Grandmother's (maryland-plated) car on monday after spending the weekend at her house.[/quote]

based on the sightseeings, sounds like in some schools a good percentage of the kids spends many days of the week at grandma's house in MD and is driven to school by said grandma in the morning [/quote]
A good percentage? You mean like .01%?

Even "good" DCPS schools are not nearly up to par with 90% of Maryland/Virginia schools. All I am trying to say is that a lot of people get up in arms every time they see a Maryland license plate anywhere near their precious school, and automatically assume it was someone trying to sneak their kid into DCPS, when there are many reasons that they might have a maryland plate.

Such as:
-PP's example of staying at Grandma/grandpa (or other relative's) house
-Nanny who lives in VA or Maryland
-Partial custody by one parent
-etc

I remember when my son was a freshman at a good public high school, one of his friends was a senior. Middle of senior year her parents split. Apparently dad moved to Silver Spring. She would spend pretty much every other night at her father's house, and he would sometimes drive her to school (He worked near by). Late that year, she was forced to leave the school because of the situation. They literally told her that she was no longer a resident of DC because she happened to sometimes sleep at her OOS dad's house. This was only a couple weeks before she was supposed to graduate from High School. In the end, she had to do another year, essentially move full-time to her Dad's house so she could go to school in Maryland, and graduate there after a semester. DCPS didn't believe her that her father had just moved to Maryland, and for a while was trying to force her to pay back-tuition for the four years she had attended. At least she managed to talk them down from that, but it all set her back immensely.  [/quote]
