Hi everyone,
I may not be online as much as I would like on PP but if you can this petition to help the Department of Education of New York to stop the cutting of my school's budget. It would mean a lot to me. Thank yous!!

For non-Americans, AP classes are college level classes in high school that you can take so you can receive college credit. You get those credits by getting a 3-5 on the AP exam during May. These are really hard classes for both students to learn and teachers to teach but they are extremely beneficial as it helps students to pay less for their tuition, when they do get into college.
So the deal is my school has double period classes for AP sciences and AP maths. The DOE is planning to cut it down to one period but that however would mean that courses would have to be rushed and students would not do as well. Other states in the country start school in August, so they receive more time to prep for the AP exam than NY schools do, so giving less time for AP classes in my school would make my school fall behind even more.
I'm not forcing anyone to sign but if you do; you would be helping a fellow crew member out a lot
