Extracurricular Activities

Isn't it time to stop suggesting that kids come to school just to participate in extracurricular activities?  I could be wrong, but I have few kids turned on to Algebra 2 by virtue of being on the basketball team.

A New Home for Inner City Educators

With the demise of IPSB-S, I thought it prudent to reach out to the masses and attempt to facilitate a conversation about all of the urban education issues that swirl around us.  IPS is important, but it does not represent the entirety of urban education in our city.  There are suburban districts with a very sizable, urban population.  There are suburban schools that struggle to meet the needs of urban students.  There are great schools and not so great school in Central Indiana.  Indy Urban Education is a platform for a broader conversation about the problems we face and the solutions we so desperately need.

So, for this first post, I would like for everyone to propose a topic.
