@landemore @Gladwell Was a blast to share. More on our work at https://t.co/rw2AU1ssQW, with some research on student perceptions of random selection vs elections from @SimonPekProf, @JeffreyCKennedy and Cronkright here: https://t.co/7nDbAcBFKr!

[Hélène Landemore @landemore]

Turns out @Gladwell did a podcast on an experiment by Adam Cronkite on randomly selected students' councils in #Bolivia that shows how #lotteries can identify/make great leaders in a way that #elections can't. https://t.co/cIjYV1owCn

[DemocracyInPractice @DemInPractice]

@IdeaRatingGuy @landemore @Gladwell It is! Adam Cronkright is one of our co-founders!

[Dr Eleanor Staples @DrElStaples]

This is a great, great idea

[DemocracyInPractice @DemInPractice]

An amazing idea! We've put together some resources on how to incorporate democratic lotteries into high school (and elementary) student governments that might help: https://t.co/rw2AU1ssQW

No surprises here ; )

@_ablebakercindy @Gladwell You might find this interesting on application at the college level, @_ablebakercindy: https://t.co/lifQ5NRau8

[DemocracyInPractice @DemInPractice]

Not to mention learning from the outset to think more creatively about what 'democracy' can look like! Such a shame to teach 99% of kids that their only contribution is an occasional vote.

[Beth Amaro @BAPKAUAI]

@LDpodcast @Gladwell If we could at least do this at the school level. Think about how many kids would find their voice at an earlier stage of life.
