Schools are for learning. They were never intended to be a snap free food give away, a 3 to 4 hour daycare center, a foreign language tudor for 20 languages, a psychological care facility, a general health centers, or fancy gyms and home to sports teams which aid perhaps 10% of all students. Many of these intentions were good ideas at the start and many came about because the Federal Government agreed to pay the entire cost for 3 to 5 years; but the results are very easy to quantify.
The quality and ability of students at every level has declined while costs have skyrocketed. IPS needs to be privatized and cost/benefit analysis’s used to decide where the money goes. The tail is wagging the dog and our retirees whose savings and pensions are growing much slower than costs are rising.
My Dad went to a one room school house with K and 8 grades and yet despite those obstacles; he was instrumental in the invention of synthetic insulin, amongst many other essential medicines. Schools are only as good as their students and teachers, they are a shadow of themselves. The Legislature & the Teacher’s Union are to blame for this downward spiral.- Steven Pettinga
