On Wednesday, January 9th, Dr. Eugene White, Superintendent for the Indianapolis Public Schools, along with most of the members of the Board of School Commissioners, outlined the new school program to teachers, parents, and students of the George W. Julian School. The new school program, which in other states goes by the name "Fundamental School", based on setting very high expectations for behavior and academic excellence. A delegation of parents and administrators visited the Pinellas County (Florida) Schools late last year and found a structured environment with an updated "back to basics" approach and joint parent-teacher-student commitment. The Board of School Commissioners recently changed the boundaries for School 57 to include more of Irvington and allow most elementary age students living in Irvington to enroll in the program.

I think that this is Fabulous!!! I work at School 37. The children have absolutely no respect for the adults; Teachers, Principal and/or teachers aids. I find this humiliating, frustrating and futile in helping them with their futures. I think back to basics is a great concept especially with behavior. If you dont have good behaved children then you cannot teach and they cannot learn, and folks they are our future leaders!
