Why is it important that students play a part in decision making for the school community?

In many school communities, decisions are made by teachers and superintendents regarding changes to the society.

These descions are created to make students more confident within school.

However, sometimes these decisions are not successful and can make impacts in school communities that oppose their original intentions.

To avoid these scenario’s, the best way to make sure these changes are positive and succuseful, adults need to start including student’s voices in these descisions.

Students will most likely provide ideas that can be agreed on by their peers, which if implemented, can actually have a positive impact on the school commuity.
