[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is wildly paranoid.

We are in lottery for first time this year. Know it’s a very long shot, fingers crossed though. I wish there were more choices for middle school and more programs like HB available.

Best of luck to all [/quote]

Condolences when you don’t win, hopefully your neighborhood schools are ok. Its too bad you couldn’t trust the lottery to be fair.

And are naive enough to think us advocating for more transparency and fairness of a wildly inequitable program are paranoid. [/quote]

Yes. I find your approach wildly self serving and paranoid. Trust the process. [/quote]

There’s no reason to think it’s rigged. And I don’t think we have to know what our numbers are to trust that they’re being honest. It’s probably just to keep folks from calling constantly. I can’t believe it’s going to be aired live. I’d rather just get a notice in the mail. It’s not going to devastate us if the kid doesn’t get in, but it’s a great opportunity if they do. [/quote]

You live here long enough, you see who is admitted, the siblings admitted (i ran the numbers, the odds are 1% for most schools for that happening). It should be a bigger school for equality with other schools, but either way it should be transparent.

How would having a number to watch for in the lottery spur people to call more?[/quote]

This person is weirdly OBSESSED. [/quote] And doesn't know the difference between data and anadata. And observational bias. She's lotteried 10 times which makes me think maybe she had too many kids and not enough stimulation outside of her domestic life.[/quote]
