[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's a concrete example of why this is not a good idea.  I live in the Ross ES school zone, which is a super-highly rated school with PK3.  They have home visits for pre-K kids.  In the past, teachers have scheduled home visits right before the school year started, realized the parents in fact, did not live within the boundary, and the kids were not allowed to take those PK slots and I would guess, had to scramble to find a new option in August.

And also agree with other people that OP's conscience should not be "clean."[/quote]

Home visits are optional, and if OP's kid is already in a $4K / month private the child is past the age where home visits occur anyway.

But yeah, she shouldn't do what she describes.

But there is a legal way to achieve the same thing. Rent IB for the school you wish to attend with the $4K tuition money and live in that place for at least one year (has to be K or above). Rent out your bigger home across town. After you've completed a year at the 'good' school, move back to your house across town.

That is TOTALLY legal, and DCPS will let you stay in the school through the end of the feeder pattern. [/quote]

This is untrue. I am moving my private school dc to public (3rd grade) and have been told they are visiting.[/quote]

And you can decline. Or set up the visit at a coffee shop.

Home visits are to develop relationships with teachers. They are not for residency or boundary checks.

If the family can't produce documents or there are issues with residency, the registrar and admin deal with it, not the teachers. [/quote]

Oh didn’t know it was optional. I am fine with them coming over. [/quote]
