I'm going to post this to the White House petition site, not because I think they will do what it says, but because I want to hear their response to it and it's not like any reporter is going to ask about this.

I made some slight edits and posted it.

The education "reform" agenda of billionaires and Wall Street is driving teachers out of the job and discouraging college students from becoming teachers at an alarming rate.

For profit charter schools that get taxpayer money do worse twice as often as better than normal public schools.

Repetitive standardized testing takes time away from learning and only profits testing companies and is used to punish schools and teachers rather than help.

Do for public school kids what the best private schools do for your own daughters: reduce class size, and give teachers the freedom to figure out how best to meet children's education needs instead of listening Wall Street sharks who want our kids' education to be the next bubble they pump and dump. Put our kids ahead of your big campaign donors.
