[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the rules allow for it, like the joint custody poster above, you can go to DCPS and ask.  Why do I think many people posing various themes of "I pay rent on the studio apt neither I nor my child live in" or "I pay dc taxes" are likely unwilling to go to DCPS and ask if their proposal is allowed by the rules.  They know the answer, it is not.  Somehow, however, they feel that they are not actually breaking the law because they have found a way to create paperwork.

If you are asking your child to lie about where she lives, you are doing something wrong and you know it.  Own that you are a law breaker.[/quote]
The only LAW it is breaking is your social law, of what is right and wrong. If we are paying DC taxes- we are abiding by the law. And the boundary issues- you all would jump through a million whatever hoops if we went to a city wide lottery. No sense in telling me you wouldn't because you would. The boundary fights/fierceness are throw backs when we tried to keep the black kids away from the white kids. So no, I do not feel forced to honor those at the expense of my kids education.

This is not "jumping through hoops," it is lying and cheating because you think the rules don't apply to you.  If all that mattered was paying DC taxes we would have a very different school system.  The boundaries are not about keeping certain kids out based on their race, they are an assignment policy based on where you live with the opportunity to allow for OOB when space allows and pursuant to a fair (lottery) system.  There are some special rules for special programs (Oyster, SWS, etc).  You are just making nonsense up to justify your cheating ways.  I actually suspect that the cheaters and liars that pull this kind of BS are likely white families that are trying to keep their children away from the children in the neighborhoods they chose to live in.  I have significantly more sympathy for families without any real choices but that is not who we are talking about here.
