The Case of the Unsatisfied Student Leader
A few days ago, one of your Student Activities leaders, Carol, came up to you and presented the idea of hosting a Spring Formal dance . While you love her enthusiasm, you tried to explain to her why it wasn't such a good idea this year . You have helped to plan these events in the past and have seen the attendance slowly decline over the years . Your student leaders decided last year to take a few years off so the student body could get excited about it again .
Not being one to take "no" for an answer, Carol went to the President of the school because he has always seemed like someone who wanted to be open and accessible to the student body . She asked him what he thought about it and he loved the idea and told her to go ahead with it . He said he couldn't understand why it was ever decided to stop planning the event in the first place, and he even offered to provide some discretionary funding to make it a success .
Carol stopped by this morning and told you about the President's decision . She tried to be respectful, and said, "I know you told me not to, but I really think this is a great idea . I totally respect you, but I really just feel that the campus needs this to happen . You don't need to attend, and I promise not to bother you with any of the planning details ."
> What would you do?
> How would this affect your relationship with Carol?
DON'T FORGET YOUR RESPONSE NEEDS TO BE A MINIMUM OF 50 WORDS!!!!
I would ask Carol as to why she did that. I would then continue to tell her why I think it is not a good idea, because I agree that they should not have it for a while so when it comes time to have it again the kids will get excited about it again. I would think of Carol a little differently for she got what she wanted without stopping or not trying.
ReplyDeleteI think I would probably be pretty angry with Carol. You expressed your opinion about the matter due to past experiences and with her not respecting that, its really not cool at all. I think our relationship will be pretty strained after that. It would be hard to trust her again. But eventually I would forgive her, but think twice about trusting her.
ReplyDeleteI would probably be kinda angry at her. I would expect that hardly anyone would go and that would make the principal and Carol mad. I would maybe go to the dance just to see how it turns out. If it turns out pretty well then I would probably apologize for telling her that it was not a good idea and enjoy the time their.
ReplyDeletei would be a little angry with her. i mean i expressed my feelings about her idea and she went on with asking the principle anyways.i would probably go to the dace and see how it turned out and if it turned out ok would apologize and enjoy myself.
ReplyDeleteI would not be a happy camper, I would go to the president, with some of the other members, and not carol, and tell him what you think. I would get him on my side, so he realizes that it's not a very good idea at all. Maybe try something else, like a carnival...

ReplyDeleteI don't really know what I would do. I know that I would be mad that she went behind my back about telling the president about the dance. I think that we should arrange something that more people would go to. I think that Carol and I probably wouldn't talk much after she went behind my back about the dance.
ReplyDeleteI wouldnt be too happy with carol. I couldnt trust her. Maybe forgive but I would definitely have to second think trusting her.
ReplyDeleteI would not be happy with Carol she went kind of went around what I said. So it would be hard to trust Carol.
ReplyDeleteDont give up!! I would ask carol why she is making that choice.I would also go to the group and see what they think. Because two heads are better than one. But the president should have more say i think but he should be better informed. It would make the relationship poor
ReplyDeletei would be upset at her for going behind my back. i would explain my opinion on the subject. i would tell her that she should have waited so that students would be excited about it. i wouldn't show up because she went behind my back. :)
ReplyDeleteI think I would ask Carol why she did that, and then I not will be angry because I'm sure is a wrong decision to plan this Spring Formal Dance, so I will tell her again that we should wait one or two years to the students would be excited again, and if she didn't care what I say,I will wait to she will see that it was a bad decision.
