Some Hill parents of toddlers are bitter than MD address cheaters abound at a number of Title 1 neighborhood schools, e.g. Ludlow-Taylor, Payne, JO Wilson, Miner etc. Brent has been Title 1 for years. Their early childhood program can't accommodate all IB families for lack of classroom space (small building and grounds), different issue.

why would "bitterness be at a peak" when it's just a matter of waiting until K? it's not like DCPS preschool is like going to Harvard. We had my 3 year old in DCPS and it was awful. sometimes you get what you pay for.

I work at a DCPS and have direct knowledge of a lot of residency cheaters. But, I strongly disagree that the answer is more school choice. I think that hurt our neighborhood schools. And, the school voucher program is a total disaster. Many of the schools are shameful, and students who attend them are severely behind grade level.

So, I'm not interested in participating. I absolutely agree that DCPS and OSSE need to increase their investigations and removal of residency cheaters. But I disagree with your methods and message.

EVERYONE has an agenda.

The honest admit to it.

Absolutely not! Going to a school during drop off and photographing children then publishing their photos online is unacceptable.

I'm an editor for a legislative newspaper and I have a reporter working on a story about Maryland kids attending schools DC taxpayers pay for:

I was wondering if anyone from this forum would be interested in talking to my reporter about this phenomenon. If any of you have experience with this and would like to speak openly about it, I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks!

The problem is that at the ground level DCPS staff have no real vested interest in policing this. It removes kids from their schools which only hurts their budgets.
