[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I predict not. I believe the root of the issue is lack of interest, so a lottery, or even an open admissions policy, won't fix that. [/quote] I think it will increase white kid enrollment, which is the real goal. [/quote] I think you are confusing whites who advocate for TJ reform with whites who want more white kids at TJ. There are whites advocating for TJ reform who see increasing the enrollment of Black, Hispanic and low-income students as a way for them to demonstrate they are allies. That is their main goal, not getting more white kids into TJ. Some of them went to or have kids at TJ; others are happy with their base schools. And some of the main advocates for reform are Black and South Asian. This may not be intuitive to people who have a narrow concept of self-interest that extends only to getting their own kids into a single high school. [/quote]
