[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imagine how high SF property prices would be if they had neighborhood schools! That is the only thing keep prices down![/quote]

There are so many super-rich resident parents in SF that neighborhood schools won't do anything for property values.  It's so easy for them to pay for private that they live wherever they want.  The only thing a city-wide lottery has insured is for the public schools to suck for everyone else. [/quote]

Very true.  So randomly assign kids who are all over the place in academic levels and you think that is going to turn out well??  Force parents to drive all over the city in traffic to get their kid to school before going to work??  What a disaster.  Who is going to put up with that when they have the means to go private or move?

Apparently a whole lot of parents in SF comply with the lottery system, but they complain the whole time while participating in it.  Hence the lottery system, finally, being discontinued there.  One suspects most of them will continue to complain when they return to a local school system.  Anyone who doesn't wish to complain has already left.[/quote]
