MIT will provide undergraduate certificates online at nominal costs.
MIT will us the name MITx for it in order to pğrotect existing students paying $ 4000 per course .
Beauty of it is
Everybody ( yes everybody , janitor, taxi drivers, high school students, university students, or graduates, )
can access the courses and learn.
Whenever they feel they mastered the course
they apply for certification at a nominal cost .
I hope if someone takes certain courses he will get a certification of the subject matter such as accounting, marketingi , medical help, etc .
Let us support the idea .

But my complains are :

1.- Even state univerwsities like PennState charge the same tuition for online courses as for f2f courses. But we know that cost of online is only 1/10 of the f2f courses. It has to be changed.
2.- In general all online courses available in schools in USA are not good quality. School doesn not spend enough money for the development of the course. What can be done . Some kind of online quality accreditation is needed .
3.- There are most beautiful online courses free provided by http://www.academicearth.org
providing online courses from MIT, Harvrard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Berkeley at the highest quality, bu colleges in the USA do not make use of them but Singapor, Korea China do . Shame .

If we are not smart enough some smart ones will win .

THIS other petition that did NOT get 150 signatures in 30 days was deleted: http://wh.gov/24m — it simply said that her petition was expired — Who KNOWS what it was?

So, what’s the bottom line?

ANSWER: If my petition, http://wh.gov/jU8 can get 150 signatures before the month elapses, then TWO things happens:

#1 — Of course, it can become searchable in the database, so when someone puts in a key word like ‘education’ or ‘college’ or ‘economy’ or ‘budget,’ my petition pops up & getting signatures is not so much of a pain (where I beg, plead, and finagle my friends here to sign) — but here’s the main thing you need to know:

#2 — My petition will become immortal — much like the Evolution/Creation petition above — even AFTER it ‘expires,’ it will *remain* on the Whitehouse website AND (get this!) still be eligible to receive signatures –just not ‘official’ where the Whitehouse *has* to respond –so, unless you can think of a better use of your time right now, then stop complaining, stop moaning, and stop groaning ,and SIGN MY PETETION TO OBAMA: http://wh.gov/jU8

Conservatives such as myself, are incensed with the obscenely high tax placed on students (tuition is legally a tax, as it flows to the government, State Universities in most cases)

Furthermore, Conservatives, such as myself, are peeved that the Government interference in the Free Market by insertion of Federally made or guaranteed student loans, which “bid up” the costs of college, since corrupt liberals in Higher Ed know that students with loans can borrow more.

Liberals are *also* on our side, as they don’t like being stepped on by ‘The Man’

Note: I’m conservative, so I’m not asking for 100%-total forgiveness of student debt (e.g I don’t wanna free handout) –but just basic things like standard consumer protections for student debt that even credit card users have.
Please sign my petition on The Whitehouse website so I can get the 150 signatures in time to save it:
