(3) Be Vocal
by  thinkMTV

Think you can't make a difference in your school? Think again.

In Anne Arundel County, Maryland students have participated as voting members of the district board of education for more than 25 years.

Federal Hocking High School, located in Stuart, Ohio, gives students an equal place at the table when faculty hiring decisions are made, when curriculum is chosen, and when class offerings are determined.

Ever heard the phrase "the squeaky wheel gets the grease?" Policy makers will never know what changes in education are most needed unless they hear from those who are closest to the ction - you and your friends! Get Vocal and let your local school board and elected officials know about what is going down in your school.

Be Vocal, TAKE ACTION!

NOW WHAT? Ready for the next step of Think Over: Top 10?
