No because what happens is the rich all then congregate on specific areas and as those schools get donations, it attracts more rich to the area and you end up with a two class school system anyway, except now the rich schools are publicly funded.
Yeah, that's why the lottery system would have to include a wide area range. Multiple neighbourhoods etc. to make sure poor neighbourhoods are included.
And then people have to travel long distance to send their kids to school. It's a bad solution to the problem.
If a poll was conducted, I suspect getting a better school would be muchhh higher on the priority list of poor parents than not having to arrange for their kids to travel a few extra miles (at most).
Depends how densely populated and easily navigatable your area is. Some areas are physically close but hard to get to. A good example in Brisbane are the areas east of fortitude Valley. For most of the rest of Brisbane they're hard to get in and out of even if they're only a couple of km away.
How are the Belgians so good at field hockey of all things? There's about five people there and they already play football. Are they also randomly really into hockey?
I don't know the answer, but I guess it's quite popular there as it is in the Netherlands, and the sports development system that produced their golden generation football team did a similar job with hockey.
