Starting a few weeks ago, we asked you and other students to tell us what needs to change in your schools, and we've been overwhelmed by the response.

Already, more than 500 of you have told us how you need better teachers, more textbooks and roofs that don't leak. You've said that your school's computers are out of date, the cafeteria food is awful and you can't get the help you need with your classes.

Don't worry—we didn't ask you to tell your story just to make our website look pretty. We're listening. In the middle of December, we'll take the top stories to the Governor and other key decision-makers to show them that young people do care about getting a quality education and deserve to be involved in the process. Will you help lead this movement? The authors of the five most compelling stories will get fancy new laptops and a chance to tell their stories in person to policymakers.

See how your story has been rated so far at www.RightToLearnCA.org. The higher your rating and the more ratings you get, the more likely it is you'll be selected to represent the youth of California when we go to Sacramento.

Thanks for participating in Right To Learn!
