• Save Philadelphia Public Schools
    We want the State of Pennsylvania to increase funding to Philadelphia public schools. Our children are losing academic programs, school nurses, teachers, support staff, teacher's aides, custodians, and bus drivers all due to Governor Tom Corbett's budget cut to public schools. Without state funding our children will lose the opportunity to receive the education they deserve.

  • Be true to history
    The State of Tennessee is being pressured by the Tea Party to rewrite American History excluding the issue of slavery, as if slavery never occurred. In this scenarion, our children would be learning a version of history that they would have to revise once they took up studies outside the state.

  • pre K education
    NC must continue to fund preK education for all children. Leave the preK education in the public schools and do NOT lower the assistance level to a family of 4 earning $22,000. The moral, financial and physical health of NC depends on a strong education system for ALL children.

  • State Surplus?
    .Oklahoma ranks 49th nationally in per student spending and below average in student literacy. With a surplus in the state budget going to the rainy day fund and to pay for her income tax cuts, where is education ranking on her list of priorities? We're calling on Governor Fallin to stop cutting education spending so she can boost her friends in the oil and natural gas industries that are not having any problems accumulating wealth.

  • How getting a "C" became an acceptable objective:
    In the 8th Grade at Cabin John Middle School, there are only two choices for English - "Advanced" or On-Level. If you get an "A" or "B" in the Advanced class, it appears on your high school transcript (as a non-honors elective) impacting your high school GPA. If you get a "C," it does not appear on your high school transcript. Thus students who are not quite able to achieve an "A" are better off slacking off and aiming for a "C," rather than impacting their high school GPA with a "B." Is this REALLY what we want to be teaching our 8th graders??!!

  • Student Loans with SallieMae
    If you are a co-signer on a student loan with SallieMae, they will not permit the co-signer to renegotiate the repayment terms that the co-signer can afford. They refuse to take partial payments even when the student is chronically unemployed and the co-signer is on a fixed income.

  • Mississippians say No to charter schools
    Mississippi is already underfunding education to the tune of 200 million dollars and the new governor is cutting another 90 million dollars this year. Charter schools will take much needed funds from our public schools and will not serve all children, especially those with disabilities.
