Why do have class presidents in high school?

It allows ambitous students to gain experience.  In addition, they help spread the opinion of the students

Because we are not all the greatest leaders, and even the greatest leaders need fools in all fields to get them from point A to B.\n\nI chuckle when people mention Bill Gates dropping out of Harvard to justify not finishing their education.  When he dropped out, Mr. G had a viable business and knew all he needed to know to make it work.  \n\nThe truth is this: people who want to learn will learn whatever the setting.  The schools are here to round out an education, and provide reassurance to employers that "person A" knows enough to function.

At our Graduation, the High School Principal or members of the Board of Education would hand out the Diplomas to the students. My mom taught in my High School and sat in the ceremony with a few other members of the faculty. So, when it was my turn to get my Diploma, instead of the Principal or one of the BOE members handing it to me, my mom handed me mine. Meant a lot to me.

If you don't have good administrative backup... well, it's like trying to bail water out of a boat whose leaks aren't being repaired.  There is simply no way that you can maintain order if the administration doesn't do the things necessary to keep order.\n\nI find that older kids (junior high) respect an adult who is fair but firm.  This sounds strange, but it's true, and I've seen it time after time.  You have to smile, explain the rules, and explain that you are the perfect judge, jury and executioner -- then stick to your guns.  If you're fair (they're big on fair) and keep order w/o yelling and screaming and stuff, then kids assume that you care about them.  \n\nIt think that people are pre-destined to certain grades / ages / specialties by virtue of personality.  I'd never confuse a group of K-3 teachers with a group of high school teachers -- you'd know which was which even before they started talking about teaching, right?  \n\nI'm thinking that you need to find out where you belong (great life advice!) and then learn to be the best at what you do.

There are two schools of thought on this--\n\nCollege students are adults who are paying (by whatever means) big bucks for their education so some feel entitled to miss class occasionally. In addition, there is an overall decline in work ethic in our society and we could argue all evening why that is.  It starts at home and in elementary school. I direct you to Homework Help in this very forum.  There are some bold students who want someone to do their work for them and quite a few who cannot construct a suitable sentence. I'm sure teachers are painfully aware of students who do not do their own work and I wonder how they handle it?\n\nThe other side is that professors are too soft on students, just as many grade school and high school teachers are. Many times it is just easier to go along rather than try to teach responsibility. Much depends on the course, I think.  Many courses are about critical thinking or research skills so it is not necessarily important to memorize names and dates in history, for example.  For example, it is more important to know why World War II started than the exact dates of famous battles.  On the other hand, if you are teaching heart surgery, I want the best of the best.  I don't want a doctor who did "D" work in college.\n\nTeachers and professors are too soft on students, but the parents who coddled these same kids would be the first ones to complain if you flunk their kid even though he or she might deserve it.

Never had a problem with that in any school I've been in. The custodians are angels! Plus, any mess left behind by teachers would result in long, drawn-out staff meetings in which the principal spends HOURS lecturing us about being role models....lol.

If you're studying French, those sentences shouldn't be too hard to write in French! ;-)\nHowever,\nJe m'appelle.  J'étudie dans la classe XII c de l'école Joseph Matriculation.  Mon professeur/ mon enseignante s'appelle Mlle Lilly Therara. J'étudie les sujets/les matières comme la commerce, les comptes, l'économie et, bien sûr, le français.  Il y a 38 étudiants/élèves dans ma classe.  \nI am sorry, I don't know exactly what you mean by 'school people leader'.  In the US we have student council presidents, in France there is a student (or some students?) who sits on a council with the faculty and administration, and of course those types of jobs would be expressed differently.

Their education surpasses ours, can graduate high school at 15/16 years of age because of it.  It is of primary importance to them, where we sometimes lack this.

in some of your low level college classes the classroom size is huge.  Teachers don't want to call out all the names so they pass around an attendance sheet.  You get a friend in that class and you guys alternate days of going to class the one who goes signs your name to the list in different ink and not right after their name all the time

Becuase most of the public state universities _have_ to take students from that state, provided that they make some sort of minimum requirement, usually some form of combined GPA and SAT.  Now GPA's from high schools can range from "informative" to "absolutely worthless" with regards to what they say about the student who got them.  Basically they have to admit a lot of students, who to put it bluntly, have no business being at an institude of higher learning in the first place.\n\nReally, the universities don't have "weed-out" the students, as the student's tend to "weed-out" themselves.

you pass the age of the class and you get advanced. Who cares what you have learned.\nKids want to be illiterate anyway or they would stay in school rather that protest something that works just fine already.

They were the only graduating class in the history of the united states to have the majority of its members be born in 1989. \n\nThey are the only graduating class in the history of the united states that will have the majority of its members graduate college in 2011.\n\nSorry, that's the best I could do. What are your memories? Seems like a personal opinion question to me.

Public School: Yes because it will show come class. Public schools are unfortunatley given a bad name at times. The kids are not looked at as smart and are looked as trouble makers. In society today people go by looks and their first impressions. Imagine seeing a nicely dressed teenager walking across the street, then imagine a teenager with a Doo Rag or something on. Right off the bat you make an assumption, without even knowing the person. The old fashion reasons are the ones listed above, but look deeper. Imagine someone goes to an interview with T-shirt, and the other with a suit. Which would you pick. See what I mean.

Because our schools are in such bad shape that kids are graduating who don't know how to read and can't do basic math.  It's an attempt to bring some meaning back to a high school diploma.
