[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been in the neighborhood long enough (15 years) to know that there are boatloads of lovely people on the Hill, a great many generous and easy-going parents of toddlers and school-age kids with a big vision for humanity. The entitled crowd, including the type of parent hell bent on busting boundary cheaters and PC County address cheaters seeking a good ECE education for their kids, is comprised mainly by relatively recent arrivals, families who came and bought property within the last five years or so.  The old timers learned to roll with the punches somewhere along the way.  If they'd hadn't, they'd have left.

I've been here 15 years too (ok fine 14). Maybe it is different when they are taking your kid's spot. It is easy to be easy going when it doesn't directly effect you.[/quote]

[b]How in the hell can you know who "took" your kid's spot? [/b] You were #1 on a WL and you know an address cheater personally who got off the WL ahead of you?  The spots they give away aren't numbered; in case where DCPS is auctioning off 28 PreK3 spots you can't find out who got took #28, that's not how it works.  I know plenty of people on Cap Hill (self included) who were shut out of their ECE program in-boundary for a year or two, parents who know neighborhood address cheaters, and MD address cheaters for that matter, who have never bitched. They cheerfully got on with things elsewhere for PreK3 and sometimes PreK4, too. You play the hand you're dealt.

If you are number 1 through about 10 at our old HRCS, a MDer took your spot.  These families have been there since the first kids in the family got in and the school's administration basically looked the other way.  These kids have siblings and sometimes young nieces and nephews who, right now, are getting a great education while you are paying for daycare or at another school.

This is real, ten or so DC families are losing out.

So maybe if you don't have a little kid right now or you're happily in another school you can "roll with the punches" or whatever, but make no mistake, someone else is being harmed.  [/quote]

So call up the Daily Caller and report this to them. I guarantee they will follow up, expose this family and get them kicked out. The time to do something about this is NOW. [/quote]
