Occasionally, important issues arise
that adversely affect so many people that those issues
must be addressed with every means possible to attempt
to reverse them. Such are the issues that are addressed
on this web site. We need your help.
Important issues must not be ignored. For instance,
the schools in Indiana and Indianapolis are attempting
to change the school system in ways that will drastically
alter the academic instructions that has been successful
in providing the basic education to young students
that has allowed this nation to become the greatest
nation that has ever existed.
Indiana
P-16 Plan
The Indiana Public School system is attempting to
adopt a new education plan known as the “Indiana
P-16 Plan”. This plan outlines public control
through a pre-natal-to-grave education system that,
for starters, will allow the education system to reach
into the home to deliver, by law, pre-natal care to
the unborn baby and, after birth, deliver “care
and experiences” to the child (to seven years
of age) that may be totally against those beliefs
that the parents desire to teach their own child.
It goes on and on. We address this Indiana P-16 Plan
in depth.
Smaller
Learning Centers
The Indianapolis Public School system is transforming
its five high schools into Smaller Learning Centers.
This is eye-wash. The schools will not be smaller, the
present large schools will be divided into five smaller
sections of about 400 students each where limited, different
and directed education will be given to the school children
in each section. Each smaller school will be set up
to deliver a vocational-based curriculum to its student.
The student is required to select his career at the
beginning of the eighth grade and will remain in that
course of study throughout his high school career. There
is no provision for the child whose interests changes
as he matures.
The IPS system will, under this education
system, be different from all the other schools in
the state. Should a student from Dime Box, Indiana
transfer to the Indianapolis school system in the
tenth grade, there will be no place for him to continue
his education.
Under the Indiana State Constitution the General
Assembly is required to install a “general and
uniform” public school system. (See the excerpt
from Article VIII, Section I of the Constitution in
the sidebar at the left.
