I, for one, wouldn't mind if someone checked me out because I'm a bonafide DC resident. If you're right, a deserving DC child will get a space in a sought after school. It's a win-win IMO. People worth a damn are in favor of preserving DC resources for DC people. Let the investigations begin! Only cheaters would be pissed at this.



Ditto! As another DC resident, I fully agree. Those telling the OP to my her/his own business are strangely defensive about something.

Someone needs to share this post with OSSE. Maybe they will actually do something about residency cheaters. The fact that a MD resident will brag about getting into a DC school while maintaining residency in MD only highlights the fact that people can cheat the system with impunity.

This is more common than you think.

In my DD's class, there was a girl who used the embassy's address (her father worked there). And that girl was a bully.

Team, we've really ruffled the feathers of the residency cheaters who frequent this board. Keep up the good work and remember, if you see something, say something!


As well as the feathers of many people who are not crazy racist stalkers! Good job, you!!

I think it's important for everyone to have things to be proud of, and this is probably a better outlet for you than burning crosses on lawns.


How very melodramatic...and wrong.

It is not racist stalking nor is it burning crosses to enforce residency requirements. It is protecting resources for the benefit of children who actually live in DC and deserve the spots taken by cheaters, who are the real criminals here.

Reporting is the best way to address this injustice. If you are reported and are legit, you have nothing to fear.

Follow them home and get back to us.


Obviously I followed them to a house. Duh! I didn't think I had to spell that out.


A house? A relative's house? A friends' house? A babysitter's house? Their house?

It's really not that obvious, Mr. Zimmerman.


Oh, please. Must you always play the race card to try to shut down this discussion? What are you afraid of? Being caught? How's the weather at home in Landover today?



LMFAO

I feel sorry for OP. What is wrong with reporting residency fraud? It has nothing to do with race.

They planned to use a photo of some Wilson football players but there was too big of a risk that some were actually MD residents! Remember a few years ago when the team was disqualified from a bowl game because of a residency problem?

And...scene. I am done with this thread. My sincere thanks to those who stuck with facts and logic and kept it civil. I am amazed by the emotional defense of residency cheaters, and can only assume that cheaters themselves or their friends and family are among those participating in these threads. But if anyone reading this has been emboldened to report a suspected cheater, then the thread has served a valuable purpose. 'Bye for now.


I think I can speak on behalf of all who say we are glad you are done.

However, for the record, I am responding to you as a DC resident, not a cheater--newly arrived to this city--and I'm horrified at your attitude. I guess we really are in the south here.

I assumed that post about the car following them to a house was sarcasm. It wasn't? She really followed a car to a house?

Wow.

As a side note following the car into another jurisdiction does equal a smoking gun.

I pick-up and drop off my nephew at school everyday.

I live am a Virginia resident.

I work in DC so I pick-up my nephew on the way to work and drop him off at school.

His father works in Tyson Corner so he picks him up from my house on the way from work.

He lives with his father who is a single parent in DC.

There is nothing wrong with turning in persons who commit fraud.

There is a problem when so called "White Collar Crimes" are attributed one particular group and/or race. Race should not be the issue. Someone committing a crime should be!

I think you are taking it a little far, and attacking a straw man at this point. There are many people in DC govt who merit their positions and are providing valuable services, competently and honestly. And then there are the others who don't meet that standard. It is widely acknowldged that previous admins, particularly Barry, did use the govt as a form of employment program for unqualified people, what you call welfare. And, there was quite a lot of corruption, some of which continues. We are still dealing with the negative consequences. This is widely documented, including in traditionally liberal and sympathetic publications such as the Washington Post. But if you prefer to race-bait and ignore facts, I can't stop you.

Back to the topic at hand, there are those who think that residency cheating is wrong. There are others who apparently see it as a kind of distributive justice, or even reparations as one poster put it. This line of thinking seems to me to be underpinned by the same philosophy that motivated Barry's employment efforts. It is just as flawed now as it was back then.


Acknowledged by whom? People like you who only thinks the worst about Black people. People like you who think that most, if not all, middle class blacks rose up through the ranks by corruption.

Maybe 1980s Marion Berry. He was a more nuanced than people give him credit for. I feel like he represents white Washington's racial angst just like residency cheaters. http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/looselips/2010/11/17/marion-barry-white-advocates-want-to-continue-enslavement-of-blacks/

Oh, for heaven's sake. If you have a good reason to suspect that residency fraud is going on, then please report it. There's no need to try to parse the employment status, race, county of residence, or household income of the cheating parents. Just report and let the professionals sort it out.

I am guessing that the person who claims they followed a white car to a house in Maryland is joking--it has been pointed out many times that there are many reasons why out-of-state plates could be perfectly legitimate. OSSE makes it very clear that license plates alone are not evidence.
