Student Council

[Stealth]

So many schools have this student council job which is practically slavery and getting them to do stuff cause they are too lazy and stop kids in hating school.

It fails and it's probably on the highest list of my hate of school.
2 year groups usually at the top grades vote for a person to be selected,teachers nitpick and choose their victim.

It really is horrible especially how kids get taught that you must obey.
The faction captains are pretty much the same except different jobs and to be taught to increase school "spirit".

Most of these cult followers take down posters,threaten others to stop posting papers around school and tell them off all the damn time.

Why would anyone join them? This is the first time I heard of tha.

[Spot-ify]

I used to be in one (lol) only because it got me out of some lessons though.

[aaaaaaasd]

The student council is a popularity contest at my place. It's filled with chavs.

We don't get to choose our student council. The administration just goes and hand-picks the most hopelessly brainwashed kids in the whole school.

When I say I want to change stuff in the school, they always ask why I don't join the student council. Then I tell them that they don't actually do anything, and that they just plan dances and put up stupid posters to encourage school spirit, which in itself is a stupid notion. Somehow people think Student Council is important, or represents the students, but it really doesn't. Like XplodingNoggin said, it really is just a popularity contest.

Eh, at my school people join Student Council to pad their college applications. They don't have any real power or do much of anything at all.

It's the same thing over and over again and I haven't seen a single year in my life at school where no one wants to be in the student council.

The Student Council is one of the biggest time wasting exercises throughout the whole of school life.

They are meant to be there for students to express their views and opinions and change things around school, through meetings and 'agendas'. However, what people don't realise is how teachers sit through the meetings since it makes a change from their daily crap of a job whilst they don't give two hoots about what is said, after which they overlook any ideas that challenge the brainwash system or have to make staff make an extra effort in any way.

Our head of school council made suggestions on being less strict on uniform since the lining material of our blazer caused her allergic reactions on her skin, rashes and irritation. Her reply was to not be so 'unthoughtful' and was required to wear her blazer at all times.

People who run for student council are either mislead, fags or suckups (read: bigger fags).

I have seen genuine intelligent people that join student councils in hope that it would make a differences in the school system ( no school uniform, lower consequence for tardiness est.), and most quit afterward because they were not popular enough to join because policy agenda are less important then popularity,( eliminating them before they can join) or when they reach student councils realizing that what they say come onto deaf ears to the administrator.

AWOL I don't think they're fag (most of the time) but more leaning on mislead, believing they can make a differences when school authority don't even consider the student councils opinion or view as important enough to think about.(On the other hand if only the popular kids got voted in...)

Maybe in your school, but in mine, everything I said is true.

[musicmylife]

my god i was on that twice, by choice. it was the worst thing i've ever done, i thought i should cos i wanted a say and it was a good way out of lessons. i was wrong about the first thing. whatever we suggested they dismissed, they said it wont work, the teachers won't want to do that so don't even bother writing it down. or if we had a complaint we were told it won't be changed so learn to live with it.

Ours was the same...only we didn't even have a student council. We had monitors.

After a while, in 8th or 9th, we were generously allowed to elect our monitors from our class; and naturally, my class chose people who were less the teachers' pets and more likely to cover for us and such.

My 9th and 10th grade class was awesome

Also, the students -the chattel, to most teachers- aren't the ones who make a difference. The real power resides with the parents, the ones who pay the fees. Sadly they are one of the first people to betray the youth as well.
