Sign to urge the UCSD administration to reconsider their decision to close the Crafts Center!

Mitt spoke about the Educational System not working however through Race to The Top President Obama has done so much to help to improve education. It bothers me that Mitt has criticized education without providing any real answers on improving it. Destroying public education and replacing it with Charter Schools/Private Parochial Schools which undermine the quality of life of teachers isn't an answer.

Once again, the Student Facilities Renovation (SFR) and Universal U-Pass fees showed up on ASEs' Fall quarter tuition/fee statements, violating our collective bargaining agreement as decided by a third-party arbitrator in May 2012. The financial hardship presented by these fees is significant--up to 57% of our first paycheck is paid back to our employer! The University’s decision to delay implementation of the arbitrator’s award is unacceptable. Make your voice heard -- UW works because we do!

We are parents who believe that any new Boston Public Schools assignment process must provide children in every neighborhood with equitable access to a quality school.

I urge the citizens of Idaho to get behind free public education for all students kindergarten through the twelfth grade. Our state constitution says that elementary and secondary education is free but many parents in many parts of the state are paying fees to send their children to school. I thought our property and income taxes paid for public education.

While NWACC may be a good experience for most, that is not the case for ALL students, faculty, and administrators. Ever since NWACC opened its doors for "business" about 25 years ago, this institution has been riddled with scandals of harrassment and abuse. Today's President Paneitz and Provost to President, Steven Gates, have carried on this tradition. Paneitz is leaving and we want Gates to leave, too.

Our government is saying we need to spend more money to stimulate our economy but how can we when we have spent all of our savings trying to pay off our Parents Plus Loans for our children. We are paying 81/2% interest and if we could deduct this we would have more money to spend on necessary expenses which we are doing without to stay afloat.

This petition is a pledge by signers to Vote in all elections, not just Presidential. That way the President will have a supportive Congress to pass his bills, so he can sign them. and avoid a non supportive house as President O'Bama has endured for two years.

Standardized tests are crippling education! The high costs of testing materials and the high stakes of the test is stressful to the teachers, the students, and the parents. These tests are causing our educational system to be completely overwhelmed. I want to move our educational system away from teaching to the test and back to teaching critical thinking skills and a balanced enriched curriculum. Kids need more time with Science experiments and less time on worksheets.

The average college student graduates with a staggering amount of debt. Many grads are able to find work in their chosen field but the salaries for college grads don't justify the cost of higher education. I myself have held a job in my field for almost 6 years & my salary doesn't allow me to support myself or pay off my student loan. Companies still want cheap labor & it's wrong to require someone to have a degree & pay them close to what they could make without one. We have minimum wages in place for hourly workers and a system needs to be put in place for the salaried workers. Higher education in America is turning into a expensive joke.
