We are proposing a petition that would haul government officials from making on-going budget cuts on colleges and universities in America. Our research has shown that the budget cuts have worsened the situation of saving money rather then making it better. By making classes bigger due to the high amount of professors being laid off, a lot of students have not received the best education that they deserve. We believe that the best investment a human-being can make is to invest in their education because this is a tool that has no replacement. Everyone should have the right to a strong education without having to worry about the monetary payments that come with it.

Stop or change the FCAT, and the new scoring system which will affect many children!

Education with Virginia teachers are facing a very difficult budget cut. Teachers have not had a raise in 5 years. We are calling on a stand to give a raise or a big amount of a BONUS to make up for the tough, hard economy.

People who owe more than 20,000 on Student Loans, have not been able to pay them for over 10 years, and have been unable to pay them because they just don't make enough money, should have their loans forgiven. Currently, their is a limit on how many deferences due to economic hardship a graduate can get and forbearance just makes the loan worse because they capitalize the interest thus increasing the loan!

Torrence-Lytle High School in Huntersville, NC was build tin 1937, had only one principal, Isaac T. Graham and one librarian, Esther S. Johnson. In 1966, the only school for blacks in the northern end of Mecklenburg County was closed. Today it has the designation of a historic landmark but some buildings may be slated for demolition because refurbishing them will cost millions. Several companies have created plans to buy the site but none were successful. We're seeking individuals who believe that this site should be saved and brought back to its original character where individuals of all nationalities can walk the sacred halls of my Alma mater.

The School Reform Commission(SRC) that was created to protect public education in Philadelphia has been leading it down a path of ruin and destruction since it was formed. Their latest decision is to close 40 more schools many of which will convert to charters. We must save public education in Philadelphia. Every school can be a great school if it is supported. The SRC is supposed to protect the school system not sell it off.

This petition is about the harassment of companies when you are already making a financial obligation towards the student loan and they still want to garnish your wages

At swanson middle school they are threatning to stop the music department for block scheduling. It is proven that students can not focus for more then 45 minutes at a time. With block scheduling they want over an hour of classes for middle schoolers. help the music live

Bullying

i use to think teachers were very special human beings,some are but they are fast becoming the minority.in some cases the economy has made it cost effective to retain the services of teachers who shouldnt be allowed near any student,those who emotionally and physically abuse those children we entrust them to teach and inspire. there should be a rule /law ,something in place to protect all children, gifted,special needs,etc.those who are found guilty of theses crimes should be terminated and those who arent shouldnt get tenure!

In this area of bailouts and giveaways, my peteition would be to forgive student debt for individuals or families with income or assets under 200,000. dollars.
