 Hello and good afternoon everyone, thank you for taking a minute of your time to listen. I am proposing an idea as I have read two very different articles about the individuals and their opinions on the same matter. First and foremost, what is my opinion on it? But before we get into that, what are the benefits and the drawbacks of the student council? Well the first drawback is having to give the kids too much freedom in their hands, which could lead to disaster. The benefit of having the student council's freedom will allow the school to evolve via the help of the students. Another benefit of having the student council to have complete freedom is to help with the students' weak points, allowing the teachers to work on those parts specifically. Although it is brought to our attention by Mr.Aziz that the student council may be able to cause havoc, but I believe by giving the support and attention they need we can avoid any catastrophes. It has been shown times over again that with recent research, if a school places the involvement of their students at the heart of everything they do and as the teacher number one priority, the benefits and opportunities for them, and for the school, are significantly increased.

  Now for the things that I disagree on with the council, which is the drawbacks of the whole operation. One of the things is how the students might abuse their power as student council, as they might empower the other student which could lead to the reputation of the school being damaged. Another thing is that students might prioritize their work over learning which will affect their studies. This was one of the very things that Mr.Aziz had touched on, like how the parents might complain.

As a student of a very academic oriented school I disagree with the idea of having a student council. We as students already have a lot to deal with and having to be involved with decisions that are made by the higher council of school is none of our concern. Us students shouldn't have to be held responsible for actions that are supposed to be dealt by the school , we should be more concerned about our academics and the submission of our assignments. Teacher from other schools that have implemented the idea of student council have said that these events and meetings that are held by the student council are most likely going to delay their submission of assignments as they have a lot on their plate to deal with. Being involved in a student council also requires you to be smart in your decision making and making a mistake holds you responsible for what happens in school. Most students that participate in a council are more likely to be stressed with all the workload they have to deal with.

1) Students struggle to submit their assignments on time

2) students shouldnt be concerned about the issues of the school and instead focus on their studies

3) Students are young therefore can therefore can be reckless with their decisions

4)students normallly participating in the council have a lot less free time as they have to stay after school for meetings and planning of events and etc.

5) students in the council are very likely to be stressed in most situations as they have a lot to handle with their academics and council work.

6) students in the council have to keep all the students in check and make sure their behavior is good which can also leave other students disliking you if you are apart of the council

1. students will not be able to focus in academics and class if they are meant to help the school make decisions.
2. some students may feel like it is a huge burden and may not feel comfortable with the position they have been given.
3. students that are given the position may not take it seriously and this will lead to arguments or loss for the school.
4. students find it hard to respect each other so the students may not be comfortable with the representatives chosen for them and may go against it.
5. it might increase bullying and other forms of misbehaviour among students and peers.
6. a lot of parents of these students may feel like their child needs to focus more on their studies and might discourage their kids from helping the school.

Me being a student I strongly agree with article 2 and think that the implementation of having a student council can give the students a chance to feel responsible and help them understand issues from a teachers standpoint. Not only does this give us a feeling of responsibility but it also acts as a way students can give their inputs on certain decisions made by the school which grows the communication between teachers and students. Students and teachers growing a connection or a bond between each other can also help in the education process of school as this better helps the students be comfortable with asking questions and gives them the confidence to voice their own opinion in matters.

1. Students experience the school life and have a better insight and understanding on school related/ student related matters.

2. Students help and give suggestions.

3. Students provide a new perspective to matters/they are children.

4. Students participation will encourage and help other students in following rules and regulations. Students have clear views and opinions because their decisions will impact their lives

5. Students have an idea on real issues based on experiences they have been in and can help in giving solutions on how it can be avoided

6. Help regulate behaviour, bullying and environment

7. It will help in academic improvement and attendance.

8. Students will be more confident in sharing their answers and ideas to not only their friends but other teachers,staff,etc...

9.  Students will be able to learn and improve important skills such as teamwork, communication, leadership

10. .They will feel that they have a voice.

11. Most effective participation if students have a say in real issues which affect the school

12. Improved communication, negotiation and decision making skills

1. Students could recklessly make unwanted decisions
2. Students will focus more on the school rather than focusing on their studies
3. Students could get their marks deducted for not paying attention or delaying their homework's
4. Students have more stress on themselves focusing on the school problems rather than their own work
5. They have to make sure everyone is doing as told and not every student is responsible enough to do so
6. not everyone can be responsible and in charge of the duties they are given

# data[].attributes.body
1) It will use up a lot of time from the students, which could have been used for education.
2) Students may not always think the issues through and make careless decisions that would only be beneficial towards them.
3) Having the students be responsible, in organizing and managing the council would also put unnecessary stress onto the students.
4) Not everyone may agree with the council and the decisions that they have made which may lead to further complications
5) Some students may feel empowered in a wrong way and may end up abusing the council and  threatening other students.
6) Some students may end up prioritizing the council over their own studies and miss out on the schoolwork.

Goodmorning my fellow students and teachers, thank you for coming to listen to me. Today I stand in front of you to propose an idea to better our school. This week I read two articles both which stated their contrary perspectives on having a student council in the school , and I'm here to inform you on what these articles are about. The first article was taken from a local newspaper which was from a teacher giving his thoughts on having a student council. Mr Aziz strongly believes that having a student council does more harm than good. He states that , students that are involved in the student council have a hard time submitting their assignments on time as with the student council comes a lot of planning and discussion. Mr Aziz also believes that having a student council is a waste of time as he thinks students shouldn't get involved in matters the teachers are supposed to handle and that they should focus on their education instead. Article 2 was a passage written by a teacher that firmly believes students should have a say in certain decisions being made. Article 2 believes that allowing students to be apart of school changing decisions helps hone their decision making , communicating and negotiation skills. Article 2 also states that giving students the opportunity to participate in real school issues such as being responsible for bullying and the behaviour of students , they also state that young students notice and understand certain actions before teachers.
