[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate the advantage some people have with using the lottery to cherry pick schools versus its intended purpose which was to give the most disadvantaged students the opportunity to attend higher performing schools that were outside of their neighborhood. The lottery needs a complete overhaul or new criteria. The children that need it the most are being waitlisted behind those that want certain programming and languages taught and enrichment activities when most of the time they can afford to get all of these extras for their kids on their own dime. [/quote] I don't know how you can make this claim now. Many schools are already opting into equitable access preferences and set asides, and the boundary study recommended making equitable access preferences or set asides universal.[/quote]
