[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]you all do realize that bitching on DCUM may make you feel better but it does nothing to address PG kids getting preference over white kids in DC. Unless you are willing to take this fight to the chancellor then nothing will change. My kid is at a title 1 school and its clear that huge number of the kids are coming from MD. Preference for OOB latinos over IB english dominant kids. the block is full of MD plates at drop off. And no, not all these kid are dropped of by nannies and grandparents...[/quote] It isn't the Chancellor -- it's OSSE. They rewrote the residency rules -- it was a public process that lasted 18 months. And there are still loopholes big enough to drive a tractor trailer through (e.g. non-custodial, biological parent lives in DC -- kid can attend DC schools if that parent enrolls the student). But residency cheating is a different topic than admissions criteria and experiences at a magnet school. [/quote]
