  1. A perfect approach to a nagging problem. But it still does not go far enough to improve the educational opportunities for our children. Indiana should make state-owned community colleges free to all high school graduates regardless of GPA. Doing this would bring into the 21st century the historic promise found in the 1816 state constitution which set an idealistic goal to establish a “general system of education … wherein tuition shall be gratis, and equally open to all.”

    1. but then we could only brag about 94.5% of the current budget surplus!

      God forbid we invest in our children instead of sending everyone a meaningless $100 check

    2. It wouldn’t even need to come at great taxpayer expense. Done right, it could save taxpayers. Un-subsidized Ivy Tech tuition is ~$9000. It’s less than what many school districts pay per high school student. After 10th grade, why not send numerate and literate students straight to Ivy Tech?

  2. Why would we spend money on a “student” with a failing GPA? Shouldn’t there be some sort of indication the money would not be wasted? I’m not talking about eliminating even C- students. I just think throwing money in a pit is not the answer to education.
