Is it wrong to not let kids who havent finished algebra into a calculus class? And not all differences in academic ability boils down to a difference in resources. There are high achieving poor kids and low achieving rich kids (including those whose parents have pushed them). You can account for differences in opportunity without flipping the table over and going to a lottery, leaving the most of the most talented kids of all backgrounds to go to their base schools because they werent lucky enough. There are definitely kids who would thrive in a calculus class who haven't finished algebra. I think the way I would have it is, these magnet schools can be partially filled by test scores, partially by in-school achievement, and partially by lottery. Maybe 1/3 - 1/3 - 1/3? --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:950501263] in Politics C...
