Are school councils pointless?
We have a school council but I don't know how good they are. They get some things changed but it's always pointless stuff. Are all school councils the same?
Lynne from Dundee. Posted 07/04/2004

I think it is just small things happen but when small things happen sometimes big things happen.
Hayley from Dreghorn. Posted 30/07/2004
Some of the things that the student council do may be pointless to you but not to them. If you think they're not making good decisions then maybe you should run for student council.
Shakita from Beaufort. Posted 08/08/2004
Our school council is good because it changes a lot of things and gives us more things to do and gives us an opportunity what we want.
Sean and Stephen from Alness. Posted 10/12/2004
No they are not. They are all different.

Im in the school council and we make decisions for other people and who ever came up with the idea are the best. We have made loads of good decisions for the school im in P7

I'm in the school council, and i'm the boss of it and say if it is a good idea or a bad one.
Sophie from Bracknell. Posted 25/11/2005
the school councils Rule!
Georgia from Littlehampton. Posted 15/12/2005
student councils are good when the students make the majority of the decisions, not the teachers. They are also good when there are fresh ideas from everyone, not just the student council members, but the whole school.
patti from borth. Posted 22/03/2006
We have a very good school council but I think they shoud keep note on who gets to be a member of the council so there can be a mix of personalities in the council each year.
megan from maynards green. Posted 26/03/2006
My council leader rules
