Hi, I just reviewed your video on NY charter schools. I have two questions about your lottery subjects. First question: Did the control group students experience any loss of motivation, or rejection, because they were not accepted in the lottery? Would your study need another control group composed of students who did not apply for a charter school to control for the rejection possibility? I would hypothesize that rejected students would perform less well in school than their cohorts who did not apply for a charter school. I would also hypothesize that the student's post-lottery test results would be lower than their pre-lottery scores. Second question: Can a student re-apply for admission to the charter school during a future lottery? If accepted, how is the data evaulated?
Thanks,

Dr. Joan D
