No, and neither can my kid. Our first encounter with a student body president will likely happen at his graduation.

It was an advertisement, OP. What were they selling?

Class president is usually a pretty smart and driven kid. My kid's class president is the most driven and most charismatic person in the class. She's not valedictorian but probably has all As.

Make sure you ask your child daily why she can't be more like Perfect Larla.

My DD is NOT class president. She is very charismatic, has straight A's, and is driven enough to get where she wants in life so far.

It was commercial encouraging parents to be more involved. ¯\_(?)_/¯

Was it selling nanny cams or something?

Of course I do. I've been leaving messages in her voice mail every day since her inauguration. Resist!

I have no idea if there even is a class president.
I. do. not. care.

No.

No idea, and I am not going to go by what a commercial says to decide whether or not I'm an involved parent.

I know which of DD's friends can't do her signature dance and which can. I know her friend J has a chinchilla and they sent the snake to a real snake farm. I know what she does during sleepovers. I know which of her teachers she likes, respects or tolerates. I know her gym teacher is sexist and told her there was no way she could have run the mile as fast as her friend who is a boy. I know she likes to eat anything for lunch that will fit in her beloved mason jar.

Just heard a commercial that said engaged parents know the president of their kid's class. Do you?

I do (but only because my daughter is on student gov).
