[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand this lottery thing. It seems like it would make more sense to have the policy be that you go to your neighborhood school. That forces parents to step up to the plate and make the school good instead of just complaining.[/quote] [b]And basically you'd wind up with schools even more segregated than they are[/b], and children whose parents have the least resources to create change relegated to the worst schools. The lottery system is FAR from perfect -- but at least it offers children with motivated parents the opportunity to attend better schools than would otherwise be available to them.[/quote] That seems to be what people want. Hence the complaints about "OOB" children and wanting the school to "reflect the neighborhood."[/quote]
