[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone I heard of got a luxury RV and parked it in a luxury RV resort. The family's two kids then became homeless under the federal definition of homeless. If you are homeless you are eligible for free lunch program. Many academic summer programs give scholarships to anyone on free lunch. Kids write essays saying they were homeless. Technically they were but grandparents lived nearby and kids and parents were usually there. They go every summer to amazing summer camps for free and I am sure they will use their being "homeless" to their benefit when applying to colleges. [/quote]

I believe it too. I used to live in Santa Monica and there were entire families renting tiny 1 bedroom apartments to qualify for the local schools while in reality they owned houses up to an hour away where they spent their weekends and were their real family homes in areas with low ranking public schools. It happens, just because you aren't seeing it in Bethesda doesn't mean it is not happening elsewhere.[/quote]

Please read the post you are responding to.  You are talking about changing primary residence to attend a better high school, not feigning homelessness on the chance that will benefit you in college admissions.  The latter is a ridiculous proposition.[/quote]
