  1. So we are mandating that kids work 100 hours during high school … why?

    Do I think it’s a good idea kids work during high school? Sure, I make sure mine do. But a graduation mandate from the state sure feels like a gift to certain employers who want cheap fungible part time labor.

  2. Much improved from the first attempt, but why are you mandating that each student have 100 work hours during high school? How will they make arrangements for these work hours with a business? Who will get them to the work site? Who will keep track of all these hours in order to determine if a they were completed for a diploma. This type of work is NOT what the instructors and staff need to be keeping track of.

    Some of the kids in the IPS system don’t even have food at home! How will they be able to accomplish this?

    Please focus on the basics for the kids who will not be attending college. They need to be able to read and do math at their grade level before being promoted annually. Does IPS have any vocational centers? If not, they need some. This group of kids needs a good foundational education and opportunities to find where their talents are so they can make a decent living. Don’t over complicate it!

    1. Over time these things will all get sorted out and gradually become the norm. Change can sometimes be a good thing.
      I wouldn’t over think it. Indiana is just trying to be creative to stay competitive with the rest of the country in preparing our students for college and what the workforce require of them. Changing of the times that’s what you’re witnessing and living through today.

  3. it is difficult to believe that “earlier diploma proposals that would broadly exclude certain course requirements, like those in history, foreign language and fine arts” was ever considered.

    The reversal is welcome. Let’s not make Indiana appear worse than already perceived.
