[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS has been lying since October. 
The Program Deign Team (who MCPS "deigns" to share their designs to) was notified that the [b]criteria programs will be lottery based.[/b]

The non-lottery version, announced after parent resistance in October, was a lie to get parents off MCPS's back

Equity and Opportunity in MCPS are cancelled.

Ironically, MCPS middle scholers are studying Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery"  this week. [/quote]

A lottery is fine, as long as all entrants actually meet the criteria for admission.[/quote]

Disagree.  How would it be if we made access to services for those with academic challenges  lottery-based?  Might you think that unfair, perhaps, because it would leave those not winning a lottery with their needs unmet?  Ditto for those with need for high-level academics.

Maybe if they made it such that all schools met that need equivalently well, then interest-related lotteries wouldn't matter (as much).  However, their plan, as it stands, neither provides enough criteria-based seating to ensure access to those with related need nor ensures that there are equivalent opportunities associated with that need across all high schools .  Fail.[/quote]
