[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regarding OOB children at Brent: with the possible exception of 5th grade, most of the children who were admitted OOB still live on or near Capitol Hill. It's a neighborhood school.

In the early childhood classes,[quote] the OOB children got in by cheating on the lottery.[/quote] [/quote]

How does one "cheat" a lottery?  Does the technique apply to Megamillions?  Inquiring minds want to know.[/quote]

One lies about one's address. There are many other threads on this so no need to rehash.[/quote]

Wait. Wait. Lying about an address isn't cheating the lottery, that's residency fraud.  To be an out of bounds student one must submit an address that is OUT OF BOUNDS, your comment makes zero sense. [/quote]

People are talking about residency fraud: OOB kids who got in claiming a bogus in bounds address, not OOB children who were admitted correctly.[/quote]

As a parent of upper grade student, this is disturbing to learn that the school has not addressed this residency fraud especially when there is such in- boundary demand for early childhood classes with long waitlists.  [/quote]

There's no fraud.  The older kids at that school got in OOB 4-5 years ago when one could still easily lottery in.  [/quote]
