[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The idea of assigning to a lottery the outcomes of the most important investment decisions a family has to make in a lifetime, if so unreasonably wrong and unfounded, from a social and economic point of view, that the only rationale that one can find is fulfilling lobbying from the incredibly powerful private schools (the schools + their alumni). [/quote] The fact is that for the vast majority of the city, the most important investment decision a family has to make in a lifetime IS assigned via lottery outcome. If you live in-boundary for a good school WOTP, you are by far in the minority.[/quote] That's not quite true. There are some charter schools that became "hot" before their doors were even open, and had higher-SES parents lining up at the doors: LAMB, Yu Ying, Mundo Verde, Inspired Teaching, Creative Minds. Apparently the secret is to pounce before the school even has a chance to hold its first lottery.[/quote]
