I'm not convinced that city-wide lotteries are the endgame.  I suspect they are being put in so that you'll be happy with choice sets.[/quote]

I already enrolled, no feedback, but I am going to meetings anyways.

Large portion of Ward 3 residents would stay, the pioneers who had gone and dedicated efforts to public school will turn to private. This is such a great gift to the private NW schools that I cannot believe they have nothing to do with the nonsense semi-random lottery proposal. 
Actually, I am 100% sure this is the result of they subtle lobbying.... As someone already pointed out in a different thread, St Ann Academy in Tenleytown will close in June due to low enrollment, and through numbers are encrypted and we do not have data, everybody knows that the raise of Wilson has been the biggest threat ever to the NW privates . No matter what people says (I have heard Sidwell receiving 100 times more applications that available slots) if you talk around YOU EASILY REALIZE THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE SHIFT FROM PRIVATE TO PUBLIC WHICH HAS HAPPENED IN PAST 6 YEARS IN WARD 3.

The idea of assigning to a lottery the outcomes of the most important investment decisions a family has to make in a lifetime, if so unreasonably wrong and unfounded, from a social and economic point of view, that the only rationale that one can find is fulfilling lobbying from the incredibly powerful private schools (the schools + their alumni).
