[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, this reminds me why I'm glad I chose charter schools. Neighborhood schools, and Ward 3 families specifically are just horrible people. [/quote]
You didn't choose charter schools. Lottery luck chose you.  [/quote]

You will eventually get into one.[/quote]
I'm sure, but let's not pretend it's up to us.  There's no real control in that 'choice'. [/quote]

Sure there is, I only applied to charter schools for my child, so- I would only get into a charter school. Control. [/quote]

Plus the way the common lottery algorithm works is that it tries to match you with highest-ranked schools first. Much better system. [/quote]

My child is older - has been in school for awhile so this was before the common lottery. [/quote]

Well, it's different now. You have more control in that if you get a good draw, then you get YOUR top choice--it's not separate lotteries for each school. Of course, it's luck to see if you get a good draw, but if you keep playing year after year, you are likely to eventually get one and get into a school you like. The old system was no real choice. You might have a good draw at a school you don't really want and a bad draw at a school you did want, and you had to settle for the one you didn't really want. Now a good draw means that you get your choice.[/quote]
