[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it beyond ridiculous that in 2013, there are schools running lotteries by picking slips of paper out of a hat.  By volunteers!  WTF?[/quote]

some school guidelines say school administration can not pick.  who else was to do it?

it is suppose to be transparent - the old picking pieces of paper is a simple method that supports transparency.  Do you have a proposed solution?  As a volunteer that picked names, I would love to hear it![/quote]

Have you heard of these newfangled gadgets called "computers"?[/quote]

NP.  Yeah, I have heard of computers.  I voted on one for President in November and was terrified the whole time that no matter which buttons people pushed all over the US, somehow the results would be rigged.  Can you imagine the openings for allegations of tampering or favoritism if kids of vocal cheerleaders or politicians get in through computers to the hot schools??  I know some charter lotteries and DCPS are electronic, and I've also already heard allegations leveled for this year's DCPS and who knows what will come after the charters post results.

Give me cards and a spinning cage and an audience and several people checking each pull any day.

(Btw, for the record, I was relieved with the Presidential results.  Not so with my lottery results!)[/quote]
