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.

Due to the number of school vouchers available, voucher programs do not give students an equal opportunity for success. The programs leave public schools without proper funding resulting in the inability to provide sufficient educational resources to the remaining children in struggling public school systems.

Because some people need music to read, and most kids were not listening to bad content.

Mr. Ferrell acted unjustly and as a poor leader on April 26th, the prom night for Pinecrest High School. His leadership, or rather lack of leadership, reflects poorly on Moore County and the North Carolina education system. He ruined what is for most people a once in a lifetime opportunity- a Prom only comes around twice for most high school students and on April 19th many high school seniors were denied entrance into their final Prom ever. An irreplaceable experience. When reporters arrived, instead of taking up leadership of the situation and responding in a positive way, Mr. Ferrell only told the reporters that they were banned from Pinecrest's campus- now that is outrageous that he can act like a dictator and think that he has the authority to make a decision like that one in a such a sensitive situation. Mr. Ferrell- come down off your power buzz that you're on and resign, it's time to move on. You were hired by the Moore County Education System to be a principal, not a prison warden.

As a full-time employee at a not-for-profit organization, I am able to make monthly on-time payments on my government loans with the hope that with 120 on-time payments my government loans will be forgiven through the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. Currently my parents are unable to make on-time payments on a Parent PLUS loan they took out for my education. Since Parent PLUS loans are non-transferable, this means that even if I make payments on behalf of my parents for the Parent PLUS loan, the loan, which will be paid by myself entirely, is not be considered eligible for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, since the Parent PLUS loan is underneath my parents' names, and not mine. Graduates who are able to make on-time payments, especially those who have loans that can be considered forgiven, should have the opportunity to transfer the debt from their parent/guardian who signed for the Parent PLUS loan to themselves; that way we can help our loved ones like they helped us in helping with the cost of our education.
