I've frequently blogged about the design of school choice systems, and that is in part because the problems of school choice are so widespread, and difficult.
In Flanders, where there is a first-come-first-served allocation system, parents have been camped out for a week in winter weather to secure places for their children (here is a story, in Flemish, with a picture).
In England, where lotteries decide many school allocations, the costs of randomness are being felt: Identical twins go to schools 18 miles apart.
We now do better than that in NYC and Boston.
