Why are these people getting so much press? This applies to like 10 children (per the article)?  [/quote]
Why is DCPS digging in if this isn’t a widespread problem? What kind of resources are they willing to commit to fighting so few students enrolling late?[/quote]

My conspiracy theory is that these three wealthy parents are so insufferable that DCPS is united against them in a way it wouldn’t be if it were a more reasonable family or group. My fear is that their entitlement will cause harm to families who legitimately need to hold their kids back.[/quote]

I don't think this is a conspiracy theory I think they've forced DCPS to make a very public declaration that will hurt other kids and families. This is a not a private school where donor money is good money. DCPS serves thousands of families. It's not so simple as every family being able to unilaterally decide when their kid starts school.[/quote]

If DCPS gave into these parents two things would happen. It would perpetuate or highlight, depending on your view, that schools WOTP get advantages other schools don’t get.  Second it would open the flood gates for parents redshirting or trying to skirt other rules or procedures in DCPS.  [/quote]
