Hab Checks? Student Council?

Written by The Editor

Is it fair?

Is it fair that we’re given premature information?

Is it fair to give us as little info as possible and expect us to vote?

Yeah, just give use the cons later.


Is it fair to mislead us?

Today, I witnessed a giant disorganized student council. Our representative could barely say a word. The teacher had to pitch in to get everybody’s attention. I had only grasped fragments of what our representative had to say. I heard “I don’t know” “ummmm…” “I have to check on that” more than I would like to.

Doesn’t student council anticipate these questions? What do they do in there for an entire lunch period? What happened to our so called president? Vice-president? Secretary? Student Representatives?

What is the point of asking us to vote if you’re not giving us any information? So that the school would look better with a “democracy”? Well, this so called “democracy” is failing. What about discussion? The “discussion” I experienced was way so far from that. People shouting, half listening or none at all, a kid trying to get our attention, was all I can say about discussion. I get booed for asking some details. I’m asked “Hey, why don’t you just agree with everyone else”?

OK, I understand the raffle decision. It sounds pretty good.

But, Ipods? Digital Cameras? Why not many low priced prizes, rather than one high priced one? (i.e. front of the line passes at lunch) I’m going to be competing with 1000 other kids for one prize. Oh yes. Another point, what happens to that one kid? I hope he/she doesn’t get their name announced, because I know A LOT of people who would do anything for that $100+ item.

THE PROS!

There are some really well thought decisions that came out of this. I love that they decided to give you two weeks to do it. It would really be bad to have forgotten one week and sudden get detention. Kudos for that!

I’m not blaming anyone. I just really really really really really really want student council to be more organized and actually hear us. Is that too much to ask?

Sincerely,
The Editor
