Is there _any_ system that can "guarantee" that a child will get in a selected school when there are big demand-supply gaps?

- jessaustin 10y agoHaha ask any teenager if she wants to start school at 7 AM. Also this entire thread is about SF's misguided "go to the school on the other side of the city rather than the one on your own block" program. Better hairdressers are paid more money. If the same were true for teachers, they would "scale" too.
