[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote[b]]I absolutely, positively know [/b]of an applicant who is part ethnic Chinese, part other things. Not bilingual. And his Chinese parent is working to game the system and assure admittance. That is, working connections, ingratiating the administration. Offering favors, which is very Chinese if you know how politics is played on the mainland.

Does this rankle you? It does me and I have no direct contact with dc schools.

No, it doesn't "rankle" me at all.

Accusations are not the same thing as proof. Perhaps you are not familiar with the concepts of evidence and due process?[/quote]

Let's try this again.  I. have. absolute. proof this is happening.   I am not "accusing" this parent of gaming the system.  The parent is proudly telling anyone who will listen that parent is unapologetically taking action to get around the lottery+waitlist structure.  This involves current employees of YY.

I guess you don't find this distasteful.   Hey -- Maybe you are this parent yourself??  [/quote]

You might find this difficult to believe, but just because you scream on the internet that you "have. absolute. proof" doesn't mean you've actually proven anything.  Impossible as it might sound, people have been known to lie, both to their friends, and to the interwebs.  If you are prepared to present this "absolute. proof" for the rest of us to weigh, then that might be meaningful.  Otherwise, for all we know you have "absolute. proof" that you are Napoleon Bonaparte.[/quote]
