[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not to muddy the chain - which I think has ultimately turned out to be very informative and on-track, but one odd emotional result I'm experiencing while reading through all of this is anger that any Public or Charter school had the ability to opt out of this. It seems to me that if it's so difficult to convince everyone that the process is "fair" that to allow those few schools a chance to completely bypass the process leaves me feeling I have very little reason to believe those few schools' lottery processes (whether they entail time stamps, etc.) are on any level "fair."[/quote] Yu Ying's process is totally public. You should go watch it (unless you didn't apply and don't really care), because it's unfortunate that you are doubting it when you don't know anything about it apparently. Anyone who has gone in person can see how old fashioned (the cage rotating lottery machine they spin before each draw) and transparent their process is. They take the card and project the student's name and info on the list of open slots as they go along. What is "unfair" or suspicious about that, when there are as many people as interested in the room who can see which names get pulled? Can't speak to Creative Minds or Stokes. I was interested in attending their lotteries last year, but I think Stokes was entirely electronic and not public, and CM was definitely NOT public. CM also didn't post their admitted and waitlist ever, so if there was any process last year that seemed a little shady (because of the lack of public information shared beyond calling the school and them just telling you where YOU are on the waitlist), it was CM. But I don't understand painting all the processes as "unfair" without actually looking into the differences between the processes last year.[/quote] Very classy for one charter school to smack another down. You don't know anything about CM's process, when your own is under so much doubt, don't deflect by casting doubt on another school. All PCS are reviewed by the PCSB and were found legal, so for you to call it "shady" means you don't know about either schools process. [/quote] Not the PP but did she say anything that was not true?[/quote] I'm not any of the PPs, but I think I remember a big kerfluffle on DCUM about CM not having a public lottery, which seems like a violation of the law. Not sure if anything ever came of that.[/quote]
