[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS parent here, and I feel like I must be missing something. DCPS has free preschool across the board, rather than just Head Start, right?  So people believe MD folks will sneak their 3 & 4 year olds across the border to avoid paying for pre-school if they live in MD.

So is that the concern?  Or do DCPS parents also think MD kids aged 5-18 are sneaking into DCPS?  And if so, why?  I can see a federal employee parent wanting to get out of paying for preschool (it's wrong, of course.  But I believe it happens). But once kindergarten starts, what is the rationale believing that any MCPS parents aren't just using MD schools?

Also, where are the VA Parents (FCPS/APS/ACPS) while this is going on? Why do DCPS parents think MD parents are residence cheats, but not VA parents?

Thanks!  Now back to your regularly scheduled sniping...[/quote]

FCPS poster- why are you on this thread since it doesn't concern you at all?  Why ask about a DC issue, known to DC parents?  Go away and get a life. [/quote]

Well, this showed up on recent topics. I clicked a link.  I read the posts. You know, like everyone else on DCUM. I found the assumption that MD parents cheat, but no mention of VA interesting. This is a legitimate, non-trolley, non-snarky question. Why would MCPS parents do this and not FCPS?  If I was going to residency cheat, I would just do it within FCPS. Why is  MCPS not the same?  And why don't poor kids in MCPS just use their own head start?

The PGCS answer makes sense. I hadn't considered that.

I have as much right to participate as you do.  So STFU. [/quote]

"Hi, just popping in here. Please summarize the last 5 years of discussion on this topic for me real quick. Kthxbai!"[/quote]

HaHa!  Totally agree. Go away FCPS poster. FCPS sucks and I'd sooner die than live in that dump. Get a life. [/quote]

Wow.  That's a lot of hostility.  It's really interesting that's there is so much resentment by a DCPS parent against FCPS.  Does it really bother you that much that you are stuck choosing between a crappy neighborhood school and shelling out $$$ for private?  Meanwhile, 7 miles away, my DC1 is attending TJ and DC2 is in AAP at a TJ feeder MS that is consistently rated as one of the top 5 middle schools in VA. For free.  I guess if I were in your shoes, I'd lash out too.  *Hugs* PP.  It must be really hard to be a DCPS parent. [/quote]

I feel so bad for you FCPS poster. You really think that lying to some Internet forum about a school I don't know don't care about qualifies as human interaction?  It doesn't honey. So yes you spent another weekend with everyone avoiding you like the plague you are. Thank goodness for anonymous Internet forums!  And I think you're trying to impress me with your sad suburban schools but I'm not. Youre a sad piece of shit to come here and try to impress people you don't know. You must be so lonely. You also sound poor. [/quote]
