[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are enough stories of parents flat out admitting that they faked residency for me not to worry that we're up in arms over nothing.

But for the exceptions (folks who have MD VA plates etc but whose kids are legitimately registered in DCPS), if anyone ever does report you, you just show how/why you're legit and you're fine.[/quote]Why the fuck is it, if this is some giant problem, that the only place I ever hear about this problem is on here? I have NEVER heard anyone complain about this in person, or on any other site.[/quote]

this is a known issue - it has been in the Washington Post for years. No one wants to deal with it.

Ask the teachers at Elington or any of the magnets if they know of a child who lives out of district and they will all say they do.
There is the story of a child at Eaton raising their hand asking "what ward is Landover in?" and no one takes any action.
Of course there was the issue of the child at Thompson who took cocaine to school - was held in DC JD and the parent's said the child could not be held in DC JD b/c they were not DC residents.
Just about every car dropping off at Potomac Lighthouse and Imagine Hope has MD plates

people have testified to DC Council - they do nothing.

Unless you report it - it will continue to be a joke[/quote]
