  1. We don’t have money for roads, we don’t have money for public health … but we do have money for this.

    Look at those lobbyists getting a great ROI for their campaign contributions.

  2. A better investment in our future would be to fund universal pre-K education for all kids in Indiana. The evidence is clear: children who attend pre-K perform better academically in later grades, enjoy better health in later life, earn higher incomes, are less likely to get arrested, and are more likely to graduate from high school and complete college.

  3. It’s clear parents don’t have much faith in the public school system. So why keep pouring money into a system that doesn’t adequately teach our kids and prepare them for work and life when they graduate? I think we should grade schools on how prepared they are to enter the workforce. Not on the ISTEP or how well they can regurgitate memorized information. This is great if they want to go to college. But is little help for entering the work world or dealing with real life.
