For some people, fairness is always a luxury

This is a documentary about the status quo of public high schools in the United States. It has a deep inner meaning. From the perspective of a shallow audience, I just want to say the most shocking detail-the fate of some children is determined by lottery.
Good resources are always limited. If you have no money, you can only go to public high schools. In the United States, the quality of education in most public high schools is very poor, so there will always be a few better schools. To the number of applications far more than the number of students admitted, so in order to be fair, finally chose this unfair result-draw lots to determine whether you are admitted.
When the teacher read out the names or numbers of the admitted students in public, I could clearly see how the children and their parents reacted to this documentary. They are so nervous, the little piece of paper or ball in front of them is no longer as simple as carrying their physical appearance, it is something that determines their future destiny. Whether you can go to a better middle school to receive a good education and have a better future depends on it.
So when the number of candidates for election is reduced one by one, their faces show more and more anxiousness and disappointment, or despair? When the dust settled and they finally lost the election, they were silent. At this time, both adults and children couldn't help crying, and you in front of the screen couldn't help crying because of the deep despair in their hearts. When one of the children was informed afterwards that he regretted being admitted for some reason, the sudden smile on his face made you bend your mouth. That happiness is so sincere and strong.

I have never thought that being able to receive a good education is also a kind of happiness. I have never felt so sincerely that there are so many people in this world who are struggling for the right to receive a good education, but they often end in fruitless. How I have been ruining and complaining about this right that the children in this movie have been hoping for. And now the only thing I can feel is gratitude and rejoicing.
Thank you my parents, I now know what you have given me.
