Lottery system is psychologically damaging to kids
The end of the film bothered me when I saw all of the kids and parents who didn't get accepted, absolutely crushed when their number wasn't called. I'm of the opinion that kids like Daisy, for example, are obviously smart and motivated and will overcome whatever hurdles are thrown at them to get to college. The lottery system makes students feel like they are screwed for life now because they don't get to go to the nifty charter school. Ya know what, I bet Daisy will become the validvictorian of her high school, and her parents can start saving now for good SAT tutoring when she gets to high school. Then she can get accepted to any of those great schools Cali has to offer, and ultimately realize her dream of going to med school.
