Impressed by: - The site looks nice and formal - Showing an understanding of what you are lobbying for

Confused by: - I don't believe you could make it to switzerland, but it'd be great if you could i guess. - I am lost as to how the link about the 9 books relates to your topic

Improvements: - Could promote your petition much more - I'm not sure everything you put is legitimately true

What was I impressed by: - Understanding the flaws of the school's funding system - The site looks really nice, seems pretty legit.

Confused about: - I don't think Switzerland is a city, and I think it's out of your reach. - The link you gave, and the 9 books your mom published. How exactly do those two things correspond?

Areas for improvements: - Can definitely gain some more supporters - Cite the secondary sources as well. - Reviewing factual and grammatical errors.

I like this entire petition in general. It concerns a lot of people, and I do support it. There's been a significant amount of work done. Only thing needs to be polished up for are the grammatical mistakes and the few factual errors. And the site looks great.

Impressed A good analysis of system in which schools receive funding, and finding it's flaws. An understanding of how safety is parallel to the economy of a city. A website with the potential to explain the economic flaws in the funding process

Confused How is he getting his information without being biased? How is he going to understand the school's environment in a day?

Improve Understand how much funding schools get in the first place. How much a school has changed through funding, ask this.

I believe that letting the public understand the situation is important. You hear buzzwords in arguments and television that spew words like "economy". Let the people learn how those words apply to your project. Economics can be a difficult thing to understand, but if you allow the public to digest simplified version, you're going to have supporters left and right. I think it's a good job that you're visiting these schools. Keep in mind the neighborhoods and the area on your way there, a lot of factors come into play when it comes to how much a school is funded. Present those factors into account as well.
