[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not OP but I don't see why parents who are approached by reporters can't honestly answer basic questions about their residency. And if people are making excuses (like the L-T principal and the poster on here who keeps defending residency cheaters) that explain away why they have MD license plates, why fault the investigators who followed these tax cheaters home?  [/quote]

I'm a DC resident (with DC plates), but I'm going to side with the parents here.  If a strange person pulled up to me while I had my kids with me and wanted to know where I lived, I'd be a bit angry too.  I'm sure these "reporters" didn't have any press credentials as this a more of a blog, then USAToday or WaPo.

I'm all for taking this information and investigating (as I do not want MD residents in our schools) but I think the way it was handled is gross.[/quote]

Agreed. Let some stranger roll up to my kids and I, taking pictures and demanding my residence info?

As a DC parent, I have reported a few MD license plates when I can get a name of a parent who speeds past us, almost hits my kids and me in the cross walk to pull up in front of a school and then curse out the security guard when he tells them they are driving too fast. Unrelated to my reporting, there have been 3 kids who left my kids' classes due to not living in D.C. But given the divorce rate and custody issues between other parents and grandparents, the lines are not so bright.

But I wonder if a parent with weekend custody in D.C. can enroll a kid in D.C.? [/quote]
