[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know two families that are doing/have done this. Wealthy families who wanted their kids to play at better HS sports teams in the hopes of recruitment. Both have rental properties.

They changed their address to one of the rental properties, as well as on bills, etc. I have no knowledge of whether they slept there at all, much less 51% of the time. They drove their kid to school and, to be honest, it was actually easier as the new HS (it was the same in both cases) is closer to where their real homes are. Boundaries make our base HS kind of a pain (for us too).

Everyone knew this was going on. No one ratted them out, as far as I know. And they covered all their bases with putting hte rental address on all the appropriate bills, paperwork. One graduated and the other is still in HS so we'll see.

It can be done. And while I generally don't like cheating I also feel like we are in an era of "every man for himself" so . . . others do it. And if it is not this, it's something else. I'd consider it if I had the option. [/quote]

Great lesson to teach your kids.

I don't need a lecture and, frankly, don't care. MYOB. [/quote]

You and your kind are what’s wrong with the world. [/quote]

I let my housekeeper use my address so that their kids can attend Langley HS instead of Annandale HS.  I don't see anything wrong with that.[/quote]

There are upfront, legal ways to go to another pyramid school or to another public school system. Weird how DCUM often goes to the shadowy ways of making this happen. If a child’s primary afterschool caregiver (eg, baby sitter) is outside the pyramid, you can apply to go there but you must apply each year. Wby risk doing it stealthily when the chances of being caught will result in your kid getting the boot????

I was in our ES school office when a student whose had moved to MARYLAND came to school late. When asked why, the student unwittingly outted the family by saying traffic on 495 was really bad. It was an immediate red flag along with other details. Hopefully, the child never knew that they were the one who gave the secret away. What an awful position to put a child in.[/quote]
