LIVE POLL: High School Politics

You get a do-over. You get to return to high school as a teen. You decide you want to take part in high school politics. Which of the following class positions* in class government would you consider taking up?

LIST:  https://www.imdb.com/list/ls569601830/

POLL:  https://www.imdb.com/poll/WVaHXu3Gvto

*Answer honestly. Not everyone is capable to be class president. Or (alternatively) if you were actually elected to a high school class office, which is the highest office you achieved?

And I'm also trying to formulate how to come up with a list of popular high school class presidents and possibly make that poll suggestion as well.

@Peter_pbn​ Very good idea. You have an idea where I can get an image for that? I look into that as well later today.

@Peter_pbn​ I did not think it was going to be this easy to find an worthy entry for editor of a high school newspaper. But there you go. Editor of the high school newspaper is on the list. Let me know if you're fine with the wording.

The character is from Ouran High School Host Club, and technically the president of the newspaper club. But, I think it works about the same.

When I was in high school, I was completely uninterested in student government. Similar was the case with undergrad school, but somehow I was talked into being the president of one club and the treasurer of another. I don't discuss it much, but for quite a long time, I've been trending in the direction of having a great respect for anarchy, or at least voluntarism, but I'm not too fond of most of the folks who identify as anarchists. I do sort of aspire to becoming ungovernable.

I have always felt comfortable out of the spotlight, so I'll be vice-president.

@Pencho15​ I've been a club vice-president and president in college (history club as well as one called Adults Returning to College: basically a break room where students over 25 take lunch or hang out while not in class). The latter club was the most successful. The history clubs (over two separate colleges) were not so much.

Like you, if we're dealing with actual class government? I'd rather take the lower key position of Vice-President.

Certainly it does seem like the president of an organization is expected to give a lot of speeches, even if there is not much to report.

@Peter_pbn and @Tsarstepan ,

Since Peter is already the editor of the school news paper, I humbly request the position of assistant editor.

Congratulations, @Tsarstepan 

Please change the "Poll Suggestion" to "Live Poll" in the discussion thread title and change the settings so that it appears under "Praise" now, rather than "Idea."
