Thank you Gary. My family left Marion County for Carmel in the 1970's... I can attest that you are absolutely correct.

The one problem Carmel has is the gargantuan oversized high school on Main St.... a decision to retin only one HS for sports trophies. That was a humongously poor decision as education at the CHS is not what it used to be; many parents find their children are "falling through the cracks"... not all HS age kids can easily cope with a campus so impersonal and huge. Carmelites who can afford it are now sending their high school age to Catholic Guerin High on Carey Road.

Some of your Hamilton County schools are as good as any elite private school you could choose to send your child if you could. Charter schools aren't opening in Hamilton County because the education profiteers don't see a demand for them there.

I live in Hamilton County and I want to know why my children do not have charter schools available to them. Is it against the law for these corporate owned for-profit schools to open in the suburbs? Why can't people like me in Hamilton County have school choice like the parents of IPS students? If charter schools are the best then why can't Hamilton County allow any to open for my children too?

this is nothing more than a small bribe

What a surprise.

The bought-and-paid-for election of tenured Democrat hack Mary Ann Sullivan, LaNier Echols, and Kelly Bentley ushers in an era where big business takes away the financial resources available to the working poor under the a$$hat guise of it all being "for the children".

Uh, why the heck do our Marion County tax dollars go to IPS with these corporate schools popping up all over town?

I come to the reality that what liberal Democrats actually support is "increased income for the upper middle class liberals" running these shows and who really care very little whether low income children succeed or not. We see liberal Democrats like Mary Ann Sullivan again champion the wealthy corporatists under the false banner of " doing for the poor under-educated."
