What I know about the New Haven Magnet Schools’ Lottery is that when you are going to a middle school, or high school, you fill out an application for the Magnet School Lottery. [i1] Whichever school the computer picks you to go to is what school your put in. No, I do not think the system is fair because many people do not get into the school that they want to go to. I did the application for the New Haven Lottery when I was in the 8th Grade for high school. I got into this school but was wait listed at my other 2 choices.
The feature film that can be compared to the article is Waiting for Superman. The significance is that it talks about the education reform that is going on in the city of New Haven. It tells another side of the issues of education that many people do not know.[i2] The coverage of the type of news they received is equal since they told of about 4 people that get into the schools that they wanted, and many more that did not get into the schools they wanted to. The effect is that you are seeing both sides of the topic, the good, and the bad side of the lottery. Yes, it can because when I got the letter from the city of New Haven I was happy I got into one of my choices so I wouldn't have to go to West Haven High but, I was disappointed that I didn't get into one of my top 2 choices.
