Why IPS Parents
Rebuff MindTrust
Plan
- (1) Adoption of a culture of respect.
Far too many in IPS (teachers,
administrators and other staff)
exhibit an attitude of superiority
over parents and the community.
- (2) A parents bill of rights and
responsibilities.
- (3) Discipline in some IPS schools is a major
issue. It’s time to get serious about that as well
as truancy, which IPS woefully enforces,
receiving no support from IMPD or the sheriff.
- (4) We live in an iPad, digital,
visual, texting soci ety. Yet
many IPS classes still rely on
19th century teaching models.
The Mind Trust ignores
creating new styles of teaching
that motivate students resistant
to cur rent teaching methods.
- I think the plan discussed
how each autonomous
school leadership would
determine what is best.

- (5) Thousands of recent IPS
graduates attend Ivy Tech
Community College and the
area’s for-profit, post-
secondary institutions. The
blue-collar character of the IPS
area demands a rigorous,
modernized vocational
curriculum preparing students
for 21st century, high-tech,
blue-collar jobs. IPS must have
the curriculum to appeal to
non-college-bound students.
- (6) The Mind Trust argues that for
IPS to succeed, most of its
schools should be transformed
into charters. Yet, charters have
the same spotty record as IPS.
Some great schools, some so-so
schools, some atrocious schools.
- MindTrust argues all
schools: traditional public,
charter public and private
schools should have the
same legal disgnation of
Opportunity School which
is a quality standard.

- STABILITY AND QUALITY are what IPS
residents want from their public
schools. Maybe when school
reformers understand that, we’ll
have an IPS reform discussion that
engages all the IPS community.•
