MEREDITH: Involved parents can lend support to their schools
November 3, 2012
I do not think parents need a trigger law to allow them to do what they should be doing already by advocating for their children.
MoreMEREDITH: Academic and career skills prepare students for life
September 29, 2012
I stopped into a local discount store on a stormy night this month and purchased items totaling less than $40. Lightning had
struck the store and registers were not working. The manager gave clerks calculators and instructed them on how to track purchases.
MoreMEREDITH: Examine excellent programs before making changes
September 1, 2012
Initially, I think Gov. Daniels should find a way to celebrate the great projects happening in teacher education.
MoreMEREDITH: Arts instruction reaches far beyond coursework
August 4, 2012
It seems that policymakers have created just enough direction to create stress over how to weave test scores into the evaluations
of arts teachers.
MoreMEREDITH: Volunteers can best improve academic performance
June 30, 2012
Students who might have attendance problems tell stories about how they never missed school on tutoring day.
MoreMEREDITH: Valuable teaching time drained by unnecessary testing
June 2, 2012
Used properly, better standardized testing can help tell us whether standards-based reforms are working.
MoreMEREDITH: Most charters in Indiana lag behind their public-school peers
May 5, 2012
Why shouldn’t charter schools be held to the same level of accountability as their neighboring public school peers?
MoreMEREDITH: Respect, reverence has devolved to blame, distrust, sadness
March 31, 2012
The Indiana’s Department of Education appears to have an attitude that teaching is just a stopover on the way to something
better.
MoreMEREDITH: Plan violates democratic role of the public in education
March 3, 2012
Indiana policymakers should not disregard the democratic will of the public in an attempt to push the reform efforts statewide.
MoreMEREDITH: Use available technology first to improve learning
February 4, 2012
Yes, they could call a helpline, but they would land in an automated system, leave a message and days later might get a response.
MoreMEREDITH: Let's not be so quick to abandon schools in peril
January 7, 2012
The state is failing our schools and then punishing the very schools that carry the heaviest burden.
MoreMEREDITH: State, parental action plans would bring better results
November 12, 2011
I’d also suggest that a legislative action plan be created that would actually require policymakers to fully fund the standards
that they put in place more than a decade ago.
MoreMEREDITH: Don't cut corners on traditional, thorough preparation
October 8, 2011
Educators coming to the classroom from a non-traditional path might be an expert in their field, but they have no training
in the art of educating students.
MoreMEREDITH: Design districts with both students and the community in mind
September 10, 2011
The entire school culture would be developed to improve expectations and accountability for both its students and community.
MoreMEREDITH: Parents are just one piece of intricate education puzzle
August 6, 2011
Policymakers, schools and educators must be realistic in their expectations for parents with the challenges families face.
MoreMEREDITH: Diplomas don't guarantee mastery of work or life skills
July 9, 2011
A diploma cannot guarantee commendable performance in college, respectable employment or even success in life.
MoreMEREDITH: Early childhood education offers huge bang for the buck
June 11, 2011
It is vital that Indiana legislators begin to address the growing need for quality pre-kindergarten experiences.
MoreMEREDITH: Questions are legion as critical reform details fall into place
May 7, 2011
In the end, the unintended consequences may be that Indiana is left without the high-quality teachers it needs to prepare
our students for success.
MoreMEREDITH: Bashing dedicated teachers is no way to reform education
April 9, 2011
Teachers simply cannot be made the scapegoats in the education reform debate. This merely distracts from the real issues at
hand.
MoreMEREDITH: Community leaders know what's best for their schools
March 12, 2011
It seems clear that local control of school calendar issues should be based on what is best for the students in local settings
and not about the bottom dollar of profit.
MoreMEREDITH: Build evaluations on widely accepted teaching standards
February 12, 2011
I want the best teachers for my children, and I believe certain ideals should be considered when determining whether Indiana
teachers meet the definition of the best teachers.
MoreMEREDITH: Students achieve more under collective bargaining
January 8, 2011
Recent reform measures—aimed at blaming teachers’ unions for all that ails public schools—claim that negotiated
agreements are a large part of student achievement problems. Yet research shows that Indiana students fare better in school
corporations where teachers have the right to collectively bargain.
MoreMEREDITH: Legislators must ask right questions about education
December 11, 2010
Indiana politicians clearly are divided on the “silver bullet” that will reform schools, but in reality, there
is no simple solution to such a complicated issue.

RKW's comments read like a modern "Chicken Little". As a Raintree resident for many years, "Yes, I'm ready for this." Matter of fact, I welcome The Farm because it's a development that compliments our town, brings new and desirable shopping & dining closer (specialty grocer, upscale shops, micro brew pub, etc), offers upscale condos for empty nesters who want to stay in Zionsville, is being planned and constructed by local, well-reputed firms and, of course, provides desirable non property tax benefits. We all knew the Pittman's were going to develop their property sooner than later. That one of the Pittman's will continue to live on the property helps assure The Farm will be everything promised. This also sets a standard for other developers as to the quality of future developments - which should keep an ugly Walmart at bay for decades. As we've no meglomaniac mayor, I seriously doubt Zionsville would ever aspire to over-priced statues or subsidized retail rents. And we already have a very nice public theater, the Zionsville Performing Arts Center, that meets our cultural needs quite nicely.
Do we add (or subtract) these from the bounty we recieve from RTWFL, Daylight Savings Time, corporate tax giveaways, and the crack job IEDC is doing?? Or is Mike going to blame these on Mitch?
Who makes Tater Tots? They would be a good sponsor, because $3 Million for the alleged "Greatest Spectacle In Racing" is taters. Tiny, tiny taters. But at least they are making up something of the losses accumulated over the years in this dying sport. Buttock in seat is certainly not doing it, nor eyeball on TV, as evidenced by the lack of both.
We loved lakehouse and think the Arbor Village would be a great location. It is less than 2 miles from over 1000 rooftops in the 225,000 to over 1 million range. Many people could use the great fishers trail system to bike or walk there. Just an idea Scotty -- but maybe something closer to 3 Wiseman would good. The only microbrew in area is Ram (boring)
True, it's an ESPN production, but ESPN is just another name for ABC Sports, or what used to be ABC Sports since ABC Sports no longer exists as a name. ESPN=ABC Sports= ESPN. ESPN is, according to Forbes "the world's most valuable media property" worth $40 billion. Despite that, they fired 400 people this week.
