I attend Brainerd High school, and we have senior projects. Most school just have a paper and present it but we have to do a portfolio, a paper, and then present, but we have no help and little time and the worst part is if we fail this then we completely fail.

School Crossing Guards are a vital and integral part of our educational system and of the daily lives of children protecting them as they go to school and home, also our elderly citizens as they go about their daily lives and anyone else in need of assistance.

I am so much affected by this issue because right now, i am enrolled in an adult school and is still planning to take up other courses in the near future.

School-Within-School (SWS) will move to the Prospect school building on Capitol Hill next fall. That building was originally scheduled for a renovation in 2014. Now, DC Public Schools and Mayor Gray are trying to delay the improvements until 2016, fully three years after our kids start attending school there. The city says this area of Capitol Hill is a top priority for improving schools, yet they're still planning to delay the SWS renovations. Instead, we should fund improvements to make the building fit SWS's program at this critical moment of expansion. That's what will attract more parents to join and stay with DC public schools rather than moving to charters.

The removal of the Subsidized Graduate Student Loan which went into effect in July 2012 due to pressure from the Republican Party has & will continue to affect & hurt many students who simply can't afford to continue their studies without this loan. It is a disappointment that the administration seemed to give in to pressure & removed this loan. Through your help we hope that many more students can continue their studies and contribute to this great nation by reaching their full potential and goals, while seeing their dreams become a reality.

To make people aware of the unjustified removal of Dr. Gary Gates, Mrs. Shannon Lewis, and Dr. Michelle Neubauer and to solicit their reinstatement.

Deandre Poole Ph.D. is a professor of communications at Florida Atlantic University in Davie and Boca Raton FL. In February 2013 a student was disruptive and then complained to the University when Poole offfered an exercise from a textbook "Intercultural Comunications: A Contextual Approach." In the exercise students wrote the name of Jesus on paper and then were asked to step on it. (The exercise had been used before without incident. When students refused to step on the name, it was a source of fruitful discussion.) In March, after public criticism, the University apologized and said the exercise would not be used again. But a local pastor has called for a protest march and an online campaign to fire Dr Poole. As Dr Poole's friends, we want to tell the University President and the Chancellor of the State University System of Florida that it would be dangerous to bend to such pressure. Please help us protect the separation of church and state, which protects us all.

Common Core is here/ coming to Connecticut. This dumbing down of standards impacts all of our children. It is a corporate/ government takeover of our education system that removes educational choices at the local level, and enslaves local schools to federal dollars.

PL 86-1256 passed January 01, 1991 amended the Illinois School Code requiring elementary and high schools to include in their curricula a unit of instruction on the events of Black History including contributions made by African Americans to certain development not only in the United Stated but also in Africa. CPS/CBOE has not complied with the law!

This Petition is to let teenagers in high schools & teachers use social networks to their learning experiences. 90 percent of teens have a profile on a social networking site. 69 percent of teens have a Facebook account. So why not use their social life & add their learning life into the mix as well? It'd make learning more interesting and fun for the teens, and more interactive.
