Take a second to read this opinion piece I wrote about the current state of Student Voice in education decision-making. Disclaimer: it is a widely admired term, but an incomplete and unauthentic process. #stuvoice https://t.co/6LCcvSsKjZ
“I’ve heard phrases like 'student voice is core to education reform,' but the result is that decision makers talk to a few kids, hear stories that align with their ideas, and slap the sticker ‘STUDENT VOICE’ on recommendations.” https://t.co/R6M6Yag1sz @gencitizen

Some folks are saying I won for “demographic” reasons.
1st of all, that’s false. We won w/voters of all kinds.
2nd, here’s my 1st pair of campaign shoes. I knocked doors until rainwater came through my soles.
Respect the hustle. We won bc we out-worked the competition. Period.
The @stu_voice Ambassadors program is now open for submissions for this school year! If you're a high school student interested in this opportunity, check the application link below - applications are open through Sunday, July 15th, 2018
