[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think OP is a troll. No one would send their dc to school in DC if they lived in Virginia.[/quote]

We live in NOVA and MOCO for a reason. The schools!
I love these delusional posts about all the suburbanites sneaking over the border to attend DCPS. Please, save your comments about all the wonderful charters. They are simply a band -aid to stem the bleeding of a woefully inadequate school system. [/quote]

I do not agree. I teach in a DCPS school, and not even a 'great' one. People come from MD and VA because 1. parents work in DC and 2. Aftercare costs are dirt cheap, compared to available options outside the district. I have a kiddo who openly talks, daily about taking the metro from MD everyday and that is why he gets to school late. If I thought anyone cared, I would say something. But they don't. We (the school) still gets money for him- so everyone is content to leave well enough alone.[/quote]

Please -- if you see or know something, you should say something.  On some level, this cheating is taking resources from DC kids who are underserved.  Perhaps it is a slot in a school that is oversubscribed in the lottery.  Even if not, resources are being allocated to or for these kids that could be better directed somewhere else -- for library books, lab equipment, tutoring, higher salaries, etc.  Plus the taxpayers are being fleeced.  For to long the DC Way was "go along, to get along."  We're better than than![/quote]
