#Charterschool backers in #Indiana want help busing students to school, particularly students whose families can't afford a car. “Transportation is an equity issue,” said one charter leader. @The74 https://t.co/7p43BtuCVa

The push to wipe out the #Indianapolis Public Schools and turn schools into #charterschools may go too far, says #Indiana House Education Chair @rbehning, but sends an important message: “Things have to change. Status quo is not okay.” @The74 https://t.co/RB3EMtQfB8

Shrinking Indianapolis Schools Could Be Dissolved, Turned Into Charters @The74 https://t.co/RB3EMtQfB8

Schools provide career days, mentoring and sometimes job shadows to teach students about careers, but rarely #Internships or #apprenticeships. “It’s not a bad thing. It’s just not enough," said @CareerWiseUSA founder Noel Ginsburg @The74 https://t.co/XQHAJ6M7nU

Though high school students want internships and employers want interns, actual HS internships are rare, @ASA_Impact surveys found. “We still have a long way to go to provide more opportunity for young people,” said ASA's Julie Lammers @The74 https://t.co/XQHAJ6M7nU

Not all career prep efforts for HS students are created equal. There's a big difference between career exposure and career training, with few students landing the top experiences like internships or apprenticeships. @The74 https://t.co/XQHAJ6M7nU

High schoolers make up the majority of students in community college classes in #Idaho and #Indiana, which lead the nation in having students earn college credit early, the @CommunityCCRC at @Columbia University reports. @The74 https://t.co/MbKk14UMG0

High school students take so many college classes in states like #Idaho and #Indiana they can feel like slackers if they wait until sophomore year: “Now I'm kind of trying to rush things,” said one senior. “I kind of wish I started early.” @The74 https://t.co/MbKk14Vkvy

Researchers from four universities found math instruction rarely went beyond the most basic math skills, like learning numbers and counting, which are important for students to learn, but stop short of what most four-year-olds can do. @The74 https://t.co/tvtXaItJ3z

Timed toothbrushing, family-style meals and personalized lessons are part of the day at the private Greater #Dayton School just for low-income kids. “It's really about the whole child, not just about academics,” said school founder Larry Connor. @The74 https://t.co/9OS9oNlIlv

Teachers say personalized lessons at The Greater #Dayton School matter: “I feel like I'm actually seeing students understand and digest and then be able to move on.” @The74 https://t.co/9OS9oNlIlv
