[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not looking forward to the results. It seems like winning the lottery is almost impossible. This is a really frustrating and unfortunate. Quality schools should be a human right. [/quote] Most people eventually get into their top choice schools for elementary at least. I know the process seems impossible, but it's just the fairest way to distribute a scarce resource. Should the resource be scarce? I mean, no, but it is so this is what we get.[/quote] I felt exactly this way the first couple years we entered the lottery. But, I now see schools that seemed so hard to reach and excellent had their pros and cons and schools I discounted out of hand had their pros and cons. And, my friends with kids in fancy privates are still having to figure out and cover their kids' needs. So, it does feel a little less weighty...years down the line. (Though..middle school another story.)[/quote]
