The Westport public school Administration has decided to "blend" the Kool to be Kind (K2BK) curriculum into their existing social studies curriculum, thereby abandoning the essence of K2KB - a program designed to give HS students the power to help elementary school kids with real and complicated social situations. The administration has cited inconsistent language, inconsistent messages, and parent involvement as reasons to abandon K2BK curriculum. The K2BK directors are willing to do almost anything to ensure the program continues – including stepping down and allowing the Dept. of Health to take over. The K2KB message is clear – be kind, accept differences, open your eyes to those around you, stand up for what you believe is wrong. In this day and age, we need more people instilling the same messages over and over – not less. Please sign and get involved to save K2BK.

This petition will allow for those working or unable to be flexible with their current situation another option to supplement their income without interrupting their life style. Online schools should be approved for cosmetology students as well as other programs.

We need signatures to be able to have our dress code changed at TuHS. Our dress code is unfair, and enforced in a sexist manner; furthermore, the way that it is enforced publicly humiliates the young women at our school.

This initiative is driven by the desire to bring about the kind of change in the history curriculum taught in schools across the country that better prepares all students to understand and engage in events of national and international significance. To achieve this end, history must be taught in a manner that is free from bias and based on the most recent scholarship. In the state of California, world history is introduced to students in sixth grade starting with ancient civilizations. Concerned with an inadequate and outdated coverage of the ancient Persian civilization by the public school curricula, a group of California parents came together to address this problem. For more detail, please see www.historyadvocates.com. Currently in the Senate, Bill SB 1057 is addressing these very concerns: http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140SB1057

My petition is for Lansing's schools to gain education about pollution and the like. My little brother is in jr. high, and they're hardly learning about it at all. They need to learn! Please sign my petition to start teaching children and teens all about pollution.

I was told of Greenpeace's direct actions in my early teens and later worked for them. I want to encourage young people to care for the land and wildlife.

Children in the state of California need to have institutions of higher learning available to them at an affordable cost. These seats should not be sold to the highest bidder. The state budget needs to address this issue and the UCs need to be scrutinized for their spending practices. Taxpayers will not bear the burden of funding a system that does not accept their qualified children.

Teachers in Ohio welcome evaluations that provide feedback and identify opportunities for professional growth. The House sub-bill shifts the focus of evaluations from thoughtfully and thoroughly identifying such opportunities to a process that puts the majority of teachers on an improvement plan as a way to falsely indicate they are not performing well in their jobs. This is untrue and unfair to teachers and students. Stop the attack on teachers and focus on what works in Ohio. Urge your legislators to reject the House sub bill and support the Senate version of SB 229 for a fair and valid teacher evaluation process.

The State of GA elected to opt into the Common Core Standards, but did not opt in to the corresponding tests. Therefore, our children are taking tests to evaluate their knowledge of Algebra I that is based upon older teaching methods, while being taught under the new CCGPS standards. The tests are not portraying an accurate evaluation of what they have learned. Last year, approximately 70% of 9th grade students did not pass the EOCT in Algebra and the same thing is happening this year. Either the tests need to be changed to the Common Core tests or eliminate Common Core from the educational system.

I am starting this petition to protect all of our children & staff. Personally this is very close to my heart as a threat was made on my daughter . THE CONSQUENCES THAT THE ASSALANT HAD TO FACE WERE EXTREMELY LIGHT AND DID NOT EVEN HAVE TO FACE IN SCHOOL SUSPENSION.

Recently a girl named Ashley Cardona took her life due to being bullied at her school. The school she attended knew of the bullying, and now that she has taken her own life, the school does not want to help punish the kids who bullied her. The bullies and school should be held responsible for what they pushed her into doing.
