Charismatic Dog

Maybe I’m a little anti-authority at heart but things like this story over at Ars piss me off royally. Students in high school have so little control over their environment, indeed their lives. I won’t say this is a necessarily a bad thing, but I do feel the often capricious and arbitrary decisions of schools regarding “student government” are deplorable. Often, students are given the impression they elect–and have a say through— a student government, but as my own high school demonstrated multiple times, student will has nothing to do with student government. Maybe one of these days I’ll come back and fill in this fragment with my favorite two examples.
