[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a bit of an aside but another side effect of having a larger AAP population than Gen Ed is it is harder for Gen Ed kids to get elected to student council.  The AAP kids all know each other better and tend to vote for each other.  I see it at DC'S center.[/quote]

Good point.[/quote]

You should suggest that they do it differently. At our Center, two students (one rep plus one alternate) are elected from each classroom. [/quote]

In addition, there should be a rule saying that no child can be elected more than once to student council (regardless of GE/AAP).  In our school, the same kids get elected year after year.  What does that say to the other kids?[/quote]

[b]Are you serious?  It tells them that they think some kids are leaders.  It says that they need to campaign harder if they want to be elected instead.[/b]In a few years, hardly anyone remembers who was on student council.    [/quote]

Um, yes, I am serious.  I'm talking about the kids who are elected classroom reps, not the older ones who actually have to campaign.  The same kids are voted classroom reps, year after year.  It's a popularity contest, plain and simple.  [/quote]

In that case, getting exercised because the popular kids win a popularity contest is a waste of time.  Surely your unelected or unelectable child can find something else fun to do. [/quote]

Not the PP, but you sound like a charmer.  Oh, I meant an asshole.[/quote]

Bless your heart.  And you sound like the type of PITA who makes good teachers and administrators leave the profession, because they just can't put up with the non-stop complaining over trivial shit any longer.     [/quote]

So you think having a rule that you can only be class rep once so as many students as possible can get the exposure to student council will make good teachers and administrators quit.  If instituting a simple rule like that will make them quit, I'm not sure how good they were in the first place.[/quote]
