  1. My son is in his 2nd year. The article doesn’t give a good description of what Purdue Polytechnic High School (PPHS) is like. I don’t know how close this will follow the format of PPHS downtown but there are areas not so much as classrooms. I’m not sure where I found this paragragh but it describes what goes on there pretty well. “PPHS is so different, it’s hard to describe in a short paragragh. PPHS in Indianapolis is preparing students for the high-tech, high-wage jobs of the future. Design thinking and rigorous project-based learning replace the traditional slate of 50-minute, stand-alone courses. Learning is organized instead around six interdisciplinary challenges focusing on authentic problems like sustainability, public transportation, conservation, and more. Last year’s partners included the Indianapolis Zoo, Subaru, Fair Oaks Farm, the Indy Fuel Hockey Team, IndyStar Newspaper, and the City of Indianapolis. Each challenge takes students through a project cycle of researching the problem, designing solutions, using technology for collaboration and creation, building prototypes and pitching their ideas to the industry partner”. Is it perfect? NO. Are there things I don’t like? Yes. BUT IT SURE BEATS A REGULAR HS where most classes focus on regurgitating memorized information, have no control over schedules, and are not taught much independence and very little life skills. It’s also made the transition to e-learning at home pretty easy.
