Every year when I was in school we had an election for Class President. People would get up and give their campaign speeches about how they were going to get us longer recess or less homework. Now really, did those things ever happen? NO!
I figured out that these kids were making big promises about things they couldn't do. I mean, think about it, are the teachers going to change the schedule or stop giving homework because the Class President says so? Not happening, is it?
So, here are a few of my questions. How do I decide who to vote for for Class President?
Do I just vote for my friend?
Do I vote for the popular kid?
How about the kid with the best campaign slogan? Should I vote for him or her?
One year some kid's mom came in with a bunch of red, white, and blue cupcakes. Should he get my vote?
What makes a good Class President? How will you decide who to vote for? Share your thoughts! That's what a democracy is all about!

I think a good Class President is someone who is trustworthy, kind, and hard-working. I hope that the fifth grade citizens will vote for the candidate with the best qualities, just like the students in "Cornbread". This is a big responsibility!
I might run for Class President.I'm
just not sure if I should take a shot at it.I believe in myself that I would make a great President
Do you you think I should run for Class President?
Megan Aspinwall
well i think that to decide who the class president should be you should see who don't have that many marks on the clipboard and then ask that person do they wanna run for class president
I think that class preisedent is ok.But im not running for class president.
i might run for class president also i think I'll be a great class president because i have good behavior in all of my classes. I may get one mark and thats it.
Although I don't want to run I think a good class president should be good,kind,fair,and some one you can trust.
I might run for class president.
I will be a great class president.
I will respect others and care for them.
If i do become president i will never put hands on another student in my class.
I will also be fair to others.
Well i guess this is it.
If you are a citizen in my class and u are reading this please pick me for you class president or vice president please oh pretty please I'll be the best that i can ever be in my whole entire life
Thanks Dr. Walts for putting mine on

I like it because it gives me siome ideas to run for class president.
I would want a fair kind person to be class president cause if its a mean not fair person that person would not make a good class president
Well I think you should vote for the right president for your class.But don't vote for your friend just because he/she your friend.
a good class president should make promises they should keep and not just lie and say they'll do it so they can be class president.i'll vote for someone who is nice trustworthy,honest, intelligent,bold,and keeps promises.i think that some people just wamt to be class president so they can be popular and stuff like that but there wrong thats why im going to vote for somebody who wants to change lives and not just want to get attention.
thank you for listening to my opinion i know it was long but its the truth.
I thing we should vote for a president that truth respable and respectful.
