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.

    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

    2) student council members will be very busy so they might not be able to complete their schoolwork
    3) the student  council might just be for show, which would be wasting the students time.
    4) not everyone would agree with the student council’s ideas which could lead to problems.
    5) students council members roles might interfere with their social lives in school, and other students might hate them for making decisions which they don’t agree on.
    6) student council members will be under pressure and stress to make the right choices for their school
    7) student council members might make careless decisions on what they want for themselves, without viewing other students opinions]]>     2021-01-06 05:20:22 UTC https://padlet.com/maftuna1/9upc79dju6bmt76l/wish/1058308359     Qaeef qaeefebrahem1 https://padlet.com/maftuna1/9upc79dju6bmt76l/wish/1058308568  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.

    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.

    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.
