Some high schools require all students to wear school uniforms. Other high schools permit students to decide what to wear to school. Which of these two school policies do you think is better?

Good morning, everyone, and thank you all for coming to listen to me today. Before we start, let me ask you a question

first

. How many of you think that we should establish a

school

council

in our

school

? Today, I am going to talk about

school

council

. For the start, I am going to present its advantages,

disadvantages and my own opinion at the end.

First

of all, the advantage of the

school

council

is that it gives

students

the chance to actively participle in changing their

school

environment. I have read about a study recently, which states if the

school

places the involvement of their

students

at heart,

then

the benefits and opportunities for both the

students

and the

school

are significantly increased.

life, as they have been given the chance to present their views, by using their own voices to express their needs and concerns.

For example

, a curriculum

that is

not solely developed by the teacher but

also

with the

students

can motivate them to learn.

However

, some people argue that there are

also

disadvantages of establishing a

school

council

and their main argument is that the

council

is a waste of time. The

students

often have the feeling that they have a say but, in the end, nothing really happens. Personally, I think that it is not really the problem of the

council

or of the

students

, but the teachers. As it is teachers’ job to report the problems to each other and not just ignore them. To avoid

include action. Both form the

and the teachers. To conclude, I think that the
