[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which candidate said that a kid’s school enrollment sHould be determined every year by roll a dice every year?[/quote]
That was Lynne Harris [b]in an email to Sunil Dasgupta[/b]. In fairness the quote was actually:
 “wouldn’t it be interesting if NOBODY knew which school their student would attend… if every year, or every time you got ready to move to the next school in the link –ES, MS, HS, –it was a role [sic] of the dice?” [/quote]

No, it wasn't.

Also, what she said is basically what Warren Buffett told Michelle Rhee about how to solve problems in urban schools: “Make private schools illegal and assign every child to a public school by random lottery.”

The issue is that people believe they bought the school when they bought the house. [/quote]
It was in an email she wrote that was public because it was under her MCPS email and someone requested it. She did say it. You can add context but it certainly lets you know where her mind is. [/quote]

Also no. She wrote an e-mail to a BoE member.

And yeah, the context is relevant. "Wouldn't it be interesting if" doesn't mean "let's do it!"

If people didn't believe they bought the school when they bought the house, how do you think MCPS would be different?[/quote]
