[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are comparing the best high school in Region 1 with a not-too-good high school in Region 2. Let's look at South Lakes (Region 1) and Mclean (Region 2). Do you honestly think that kids in South Lakes are more affluent or have better opportunities than kids slated for Mclean? Yet, kids in region 1 (including those in the South Lakes pyramid) will have a lower chance of admission to TJ because they are competing with many more students. This lottery, as it is now, separates by regions, not pyramids and will not guarantee an even spread in opportunities according to socioeconomic class. Just my 2 cents.[/quote]

This.  The Regions are a 1/2 baked idea.  Why not devide the middle schools into 2 or 3 groups?  Place Carson, Rocky Run and Longfellow in one, another set in another, etc.  give each group a set number.   That way they will ensure that they actually get kids from South Lakes and similar schools.  [/quote]

Ok, will Carson, RR, and Longfellow get the same # of spots as the groups? Because if so, it will turn into the 2 year Hunger Games for kids going to those schools.[/quote]
