[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree, I think it would irreparably harm the school system to do city wide lottery, even if only for MS and HS. I also highly doubt they would take this approach. But I wouldn't be surprised if some super complicated hybrid of in boundary and lottery spots was attempted. [/quote]

OP here.  The reason I want to set aside these sorts of argument is not that they are not relevant but they are one of the natural counterarguments that folks make, and I was hoping to focus on what a "non-neighborhood school" model for high school might look like.  How might it be set up to improve the educational system?  What concrete steps could/should it be paired with to move towards that goal?  And frankly, if it were being offered to those already happy with their neighborhood schools, what reasons would they have maybe not to be happy with it -- because they probably won't -- but at least feel that an honest attempt was being made to make schools better for everyone and not just take away their piece of the pie.

But I am replying to your post in particular because I am intrigued by your last sentence.  What do you (or someone else who might pick up on it) have in mind?[/quote]
