My oldest daughter graduated from IU with a Secondary Education degree. She graduated with honors and spent 3 years trying to find a teaching job in Indiana. Many of her fellow education degree graduates still don't have teaching jobs. As schools downsize and cut budgets, less teaching jobs are available. I'm not sure I see why we feel the need to bring more teachers to Indiana.
One can't help but realize the fact that the comment from RKW is neglecting the inevitability of 21st century growth in small cities like Indianapolis. This is one piece of a giant puzzle that central Indiana cannot avoid. Trying to "prep" the public for an onslaught of public relations via Pittman's team via a post on an article discussing the future of Zionsville seems a bit childish... If you are so against the idea, spend time with your locally elected officials, find a following and make your voice heard in public circles where your opinion might actually matter.
