Are you kidding? So you really think there is no residency cheating? Give me a break. If our council actually did anything, I would love it so school enrollment is tied to a tax return. No more fake pay stubs, leases, etc. I would also eliminate the schools as responsible for registering students.


Of course there are incidents of cheating. But there is no evidence of significant cheating and plenty of evidence of people with other agendas pushing this story.


How is the weather out there in Upper Marlboro today?!

Sure, as long as it is free to those with lower incomes.


How about free to families where both parents have a clean criminal record? That's a good public policy incentive.

In my very small school zone, I know of 3 instances of residency fraud by affluent people. I can only assume there is widespread, significant cheating city wide.

I hope they at least do a sliding scale fee.

They were free before thanks to a corporate grant. Never tax dollars.


Huh? when did they start charging?


I went to the pool last week. They're not charging.


It is new - starts in a couple months. My neighborhood listserv is blowing up about it today.

Sounds like you're just trying to shoot the messenger.


The daily caller's obvious agenda which I won't bother to spell out for you.
