There's nothing much funny about seeing your child's ping pong ball has no chance of being selected - because it's out of the central channel - and the picker is not mixing up the balls between picks. Not funny at all.No.... It not the parents who do the spinning
And also what makes some ppl think that parents have the authority to do the spinning or even suggest to give the cage a hard spin ??
Damn funny
Who wouldn't say something if they noticed this? -
A ballot is a ballot some will win some will lose
But why give this suggestion to ask parents give the cage a hard spin ?!
What I can think of is to politely ask the school admin/teacher in charge of spinning to spin harder or few more rounds.
Imagine if every parents request to spin it then who should the school select ? -
That y i said previously it is not fair system. Fate determined by a ball

regardless who does ths spinning, i don't see anything wrong with standing up and raising this concern and making a suggestion. a request for a more vigarious or energitic spin of the equipment allowing for a better shuffling to ramdomize the balls is an absolutely reasonable ask.No.... It not the parents who do the spinning

The school we were balloting in invited the parents to spin. Probably wise to avoid all sorts of groundless accusations.A ballot is a ballot some will win some will lose

No one is arguing that the ballot is not statistically fair, it's just there are occasions when you might be able to improve your chances if you notice the balls are not being shuffled between picks and your ball, in this specific draw, is in a stagnant area (where it has no chance of being picked). -

even you change to your inlaw address now as it is nearer to school...it will also be considered as 1-2km ... it doesn't give you any edge to it.

Balloting
If statutory declaration is used, children who are registered using either the grandparent’s or the parent’s sibling’s address and residing within 1 km or between 1 km and 2 km from the school of choice are balloted together with the other children of the same citizenship residing between 1 km and 2 km from the school.
