[quote=Anonymous]I'm a socialist, and i don't support the planned at-risk program. As much as the lottery is chaos, it is a good democratic system. It works a lot better than a standard "you go to your in bounds school, end of story" program in most school districts. When you start tooling with the system, setting aside this percentage for at-risk students, this percentage for teacher, this percentage for siblings, this percentage for kids of vets.... You push out the people not falling into those categories, creating more of a dual-tier system then you ever had to begin with. The people who "can" will go to privates, move to more expensive neighborhoods (which will get ever more expensive and less diverse), commute to crazy charters. [/quote]
