[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lottery that anyone can choose or decline to enter doesn't seem by definition inequitable. Enter or don't. Some will win and others won't. Not winning doesn't make the lottery unfair. This is going to sound snide but it's not meant that way: Have you considered whether maybe you're just exhibiting poor sportsmanship? As others in the thread have noted, there are tradeoffs that make HB unappealing to many (No fields, sports are a pain, fewer course offerings and APs, fewer teachers, no counselors and other staff, class rank tallied from home school, etc). Are lotteries to attend immersion schools similarly unfair, even though not everyone wants to go to one, so immersion schools should also be closed? Chance can be a bummer but it's not really inequity. [/quote] Even more people want to end immersion, that won’t help your cause. [/quote]
