Then they had a lottery to get into the better schools. Yes the good schools suddenly had a much larger rooster but even so the kids who were able to transfer into the good schools out performed the kids who tried to get into the good school but couldn't even thought the good school would now be full to capacity.
I understand the intent, but it sucks that the kids who actively tried to get into the school and were told it's too full missed out, whereas a bunch of other students got to join based on pure luck of the draw. I mean, good for the lucky kids...but I hate situations like that.

Regardless, you don't refuse to save some just because you can't save all. *NM*

When saving some comes at the cost of dooming others, you might.

Yes, well, they might be performing better exactly because they run below maximum capacity.

Cool cool. I'm confused, though- won't pretty much everyone try to get into the "better" schools?
