I don't see the lottery as a bad thing. It lets kids ezcape from a bad environment. In a inner city public school, there is often too much peer pressure which forces the kids into poor performance or gang life.
- bsder 12y agoThe lottery is not a bad thing. And, I'm not even against non-lottery based selection for schools. They are allowed to do so. The only issue is when trying to compare private school type X vs public school Y. Public school Y is required to take all comers ... no exceptions. If you want to claim that Private School X is better, worse, etc. you need to control for that because the worst students consume the most resource--even the expulsion of just a very small number of students can make a disproportionate difference.
