[quote=Anonymous]Obviously because parents/taxpayers want to stay in the City and aren't satisfied with the quality of the education on offer at by-right middle schools other than Deal, and maybe Hardy and Stuart Hobson. There are only so many spots at Washington Latin. This is particularly true of UMC parents. They put down roots in neighborhoods and want to ensure bright futures for their children for the hefty property and income tax they pay annually. I'm not convinced all these parents teach the kids to lie, they teach them not to talk about residency issues, to change the subject. If DCPS would invest in solid honors classes at more neighborhood middle schools, market them aggressively to parents, and maintain high and transparent standards for entry to these classes, the droves of boundary cheaters would start to peter out. Teaching and discipline would also have to improve in DCPS middle schools to address boundary cheating.[/quote]
