NYC sent the message to parents and their children that hard work and grades do not pay off anymore. They decided that a lottery would be most equitable and best for the direction of our school system. They have left students of all backgrounds behind by taking control of their future out of their hands. There’s no excuse for demoralizing our best and brightest by rewarding their excellence with waitlists and subpar school choice. It’s on the parents to stand up for their kids against this city that thinks they can control the outcome of their lives and education! 

Let’s bring back merit-based education for our children!!!
