[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's even the point of a student government? It's not like they can implement policy. What kind of change or governing can they even provide?[/quote]

My DD was treasurer.  Then another year she was VP.  She arranged for her charter and another charter to co-sponsor a dance with a DJ.  She got a microwave oven in her lunchroom.  She organized a petition to fire the Assistant Principal (demanding she pay back the SGA before she leave) (she wasn't fired, but she did pay them back). She got the principal to agree that when he suspended kids for racially motivated violence, the kids would have to read one of seven books she and the president picked and would have to write a report on what the book was about and what they learned and how it was connected to them and what they'd done to get suspended (she had bullet points for that presentation).

I think because her school is small (around 300 kids?) she was able to get a lot of face time with the principal and she's very good at persuasive speaking.[/quote]
