"Cindy, the thing is, if someone has Maryland plates and drops a child off at a school, they have no rights. No rights at all."

"Don't they have the right to an attorney, Byron?"

"You think they can afford one? I mean, Maryland plates!"

"Of course they can afford one! Think of all the money they are saving in with free daycare!"

You missed the point. What if they AREN'T and you are violating people's rights. The children are the ones being violated. Think!

Cry me a river. You don't have any rights if you're a residency cheat and no rights to peacefully breaking the law.

It's pretty simple. If you're a cheat, I hope there are plenty of people photographing you, shaming you, and reporting you.

If you have a legit reason for dropping off your kids with an out of state plate, then you will have no problem proving your legit residency. In fact, if you are following the law, you'd be eager to show that you're abiding by the law.

The ONLY people who have trouble with people reporting possible residency cheats are the CHEATERS themselves.

"Byron, I think you're right. Closing the borders to these Maryland tax cheats is the only thing that makes sense."

"Well, Cindy, sure. But you have to realize that these Marylanders aren't the only tax cheats. What about people who have multiple children?"

"I'm afraid I can't follow. Why is that an issue?"

"Do they pay more taxes for each child?"

"Why no, Byron, unless we're counting sales tax for diapers...."

"And yet, these breeding tax leeches are taking up valuable space in our nation's Capitol's preschool programs! And you know they're all getting the free lunch and breakfast."

"Surely not all of them, Byron! I think some of the wotp families probably pack their own lunches."

"But you see my point, Cindy? These people are leeches! They Pat the same of less tax and they breed two or three or six resource-takers!"

"No, Byron! I do not see your point! How dare you compare someone's right to have children when they are affluent, with residency cheaters from Prince George county! Only in the latter example are your sweeping assumptions and generalizations true..."

"But taxes, Cindy, taxes?"

"I'm not even sure there are taxes in PG county. But not in a good, free market way."

"The important thing here is that people are liars and cheats. And we know this because we have seen cars with Maryland plates and children in them, driving in DC."

"Maybe some kind of rush hour border check would make sense, Byron?"

"But what about private school children?"

"From PG? Surely there are none."

Residency fraud is flat out wrong. It needs to stop, and yeah I'd say it's rampant. Why don't you idiot WoTPers come over here EoTP to a Title 1 school and see the free for all with free extended day and free food all day. It's a hell of deal, especially for a Md. resident working in the city who doesn't give a hoot about quality education but just wants a free place to park their kid all day. You dumb WoTPers are paying for it in tax dollars; keep denying, whatever, it's your money up in smoke.

It can't be more than YY and similar charters. I know, I paid the fee for six years. Expensive

Really.....too much time on your hands if you can do this. I am a long time resident of the DC and own 5 homes between DC and MD. Some of my cars have MD tags and other have DC. I would love for one of you parents to stop me dropping off my child so I can more than flick off giving you a piece of my mind followed by giving you my DC address to find me later, should you have questions and need further flicking off on. ,

You do realize that having cars registered in two jurisdictions is also illegal, right? You can only have primary residence in one state or territory at a time and must register cars where you have established your primary residence. This is the reason motor-voter laws work. In order to register a car, you must hold a valid license from that state or jurisdiction. If you hold more than one license, you could potentially vote in more than one state, committing voter fraud. These crimes are all linked. Tax fraud, license fraud, school residency fraud, voter fraud all stem from people not being truthful about where they legally reside.

You might not be committing school residency fraud, but you can get down off of your high horse because you are committing a crime.

FLAT OUT WRONG....plenty of folks have primary residence in DC, businesses in nearby states and the car can be registered in their business. I personally know plenty of families that have primary residence in DC and have homes in Florida for summer and cars are registered in both states in which they pay taxes.

You should not be using your business car for personal errands like dropping off your kids at school. i hope you get audited you tax cheat.

We now know that among other things, you no nothimg about taxes

Expected response from someone who is breaking the law and flaunting it anonymously. Feel truly sorry for your kid(s) to be learning such behaviors from the adult in their lives.

I feel for your children who mother/father is obsessed with trivial issues in life to compensate maybe for his/her self doubt or insecurities on where they are in life.

Again, but this time in English please

She said, she feels sorry that your children have such an insecure mom who overcompensates by picking on elementary children. Bully.

"Then you haven't been paying attention! And if brave citizens like you don't take a stand against three year olds in foster care, or with noncustodial parents with cars, who will?"

"We should close the borders. Big a build wall--"

Not funny the first time. Gets less funny each time you try it.

No offense, but someone needed to tell you. Just let it go quietly.

Disagree. It's very funny. Your humor radar is whacked. Keep
At it PPP

you are so wrong. Do you write fiction for a living. You can have cars registered in different states. Many people with vacation homes or multiple homes do just that. When you add the car on your insurance you're asked where will
The car be housed and registered. You are correct about the drivers license, but car registration and driver license are two separate issues.

5. If the parent is dating someone who lives across the border, the plate may be different.

6. I repeat, taking pics of kids going to school is creepy.

Photographer was probably a pedophile using school school residency as a cover. Taking pictures of somebody's kid is for perverts

1. Most children attending DC public schools live in single parent/divorced parent/multiple guardianship homes. The other parent does not have to live in DC, and has a right to take their kid to school.

2. At my school we have at least 30-40 active families in the foster care system. DC does not have enough foster or group homes, meaning that temporary care providers may live in Maryland or VA. The children are Wards of DC Govt, and therefore have a right to attend a DC public school.

3. Taking pics of kids going to school is super creepy.

I think the parents of higher SES, ECE children in particular vastly underestimate the number of divorced or never married families in DCPS. The number of divorces that happened among families at our charter school between 3rd and 5th grade was shocking to me (nearly 40% of families). The splits almost always wound up with one parent across the line in Maryland and another in DC with most kids staying in DC schools, at least through elementary school.

The issue is the CUSTODIAL parent has to live in DC, but that is not enforced.

Here can be 50/50 custody. In fact, that's the norm these days.

50/50 custody means kids can to school in either jurisdiction.

PG County aftercare is significantly more expensive, there is no PK3. If a parent works in the city DC is a good option.

Go stand at the metro stop in Landover tomorrow morning. See how many kids are taking metro into DC for school.

DC schools aren' that good. Little too mo difference between PG and DC. Don't over shoot the academics of DC. I guess MoCo and Fairfax residents come to DC too?

DC resident and agree I never I stand these posts. You would think DC schools test scores were blowing PGCS score out of the water, but they are not.
