I have been unemployed for one year now and have contacted the American Education Services for a deferment or Forbearance on my student loan but to no avail. I have made payments to the point that i am able to under the circumstance and have run out of money. My unemployment benefit is enough to put a roof over my head not to mention paying for any other thing, I believe student loan companies should work with people based on their situation especially if they never missed a payment before now.

Im one of the student have been going to Stockton School for Adults. Which this adult education will be no longer available for me to attend to. Which I don't want to attend to community colleges because you have to pay to get your classes that you want to attend to. Also include, communtiy college will want student first then adult education students will be the last one to get in, which it is complicated. Because most of them students will get there classes and half of them have to go somewhere else. This also include, SAT and also California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) and etc. will not be free no more. I want the government to stop cutting school funds!

Recently many children's short lives were taken from the, during a tornado. Not because of the building collapsing, debris, or any other typical reason, but from drowning. What is the life of a child worth?

Student loan debt reduction and elimination to maintain our country's competitive edge in the new global economy. This petition would bolster the economy through new home purchases, increased number of college graduates, and increased community service.

Subsidized early care and education programs in California have been reduced by over $1 billion since 2008, eliminating spaces for almost 110,000 low-income children. Support a COLA and the elimination of family fees for part-day state preschool programs.

Its about school closing specially lafayette elementary.

Currently, public preschool in Georgia is on a lottery system, parents of four-year-old's sign up and hope their child gets accepted to their local preschool class. If the students do not get picked, parents have no choice but to enroll them in costly private programs or wait until their child can start kindergarten. Preschool is so very developmentally beneficial to children, children with the luxury of attending preschool will enter kindergarten worlds ahead of children who have not had that luxury. Universal preschool will ensure that all students have this benefit and enter kindergarten on a level playing field.

This is a petition to make sure ALL SCHOOLS have a safe place to secure the well being of ALL children and staff of any Education Facility!

Learning a foriegn language such as French in highschool for 1-2 years is not enought to grasp the language and help our future as promised. It is a necessary prerequisite for a working political, economic, and social community such as ourselves in the United States. Bilingual education is important to our present and future generations because it will better qualify our people for the challenges of tomorrow. Bilingual education should be considered to start in primary school. Reform our education!

Either ban the "public" in public education, or fund it well enough to make an education in the United States the envy of the world. From elementary to higher ed, make S.T.E.M. (Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics) the focal point of American education. Get partisan/religious practices OUT of PUBLIC education.

Public schools in Philadelphia, Pa are being decimated: they are closing, and essential services are being cut. For example, at the Roxborough High School in Roxborough, Pa. most of the teachers are being terminated to save money along with all arts/music & athletic programs. My son tells me that he was told that there will be only three teachers per grade next year- three to teach all subjects to 150 students!!! That is outrageous! SAVE PUBLIC EDUCATION!!

For 15 years, Merrie Najimy received exemplary evaluations, earned the respect of parents, faculty and administrators, and won the love of her third grade students. Subsequent to her election as President of the Concord Teachers Association and her organizing activity as a member of the Massachusetts Teachers Association Board of Directors, the current school administration has utilized the evaluation system to target her. On April 30, 2013, her principal recommended not to rehire Merrie Najimy.
