I was reading the Indy Star this morning when I noticed that their Data Central featured Indiana school suspension rates. I couldn’t help but look up my school district

Lake Prairie Elementary School – 7
Lowell Middle School – 154
Lowell Senior High School – 346
Oak Hill Elementary School – 17
Three Creeks Elementary School – 23

Between the three elementary schools, 47 kids under the age of 10 were suspended! When I looked at the details 1 suspension was for alcohol and the majority of the others were for battery!

My mind is made up and my kids are going to private school. A little discipline goes a long way!
