| 释义 |
A class president is usually the leader of a student body class, and presides over its class cabinet or organization within a student council. In a grade school, class presidents are generally elected by the class, a constituency composed of all students in a grade level. The practice of electing a class president is found in most US and Canadian schools, but is not prevalent in other parts of the world. While a class president is similar to a student government president in certain ways, the main difference between the two positions is that a class president usually only represents a specific grade within the school while the student government president represents the school's entire student body (for which reason they are sometimes called "student body president" or "school president"). Studies have shown that co-ed schools are more likely to have male students as class presidents than female students.[1] Duties and termThe primary duties of the class president usually include working with students to resolve problems, and informing school leaders and the student council of ideas emanating from the class. The president also has the responsibility of leading class cabinet meetings and organizing student activities and events. The term of office for a class president is one year in most schools. The student holding the office usually has the option of running again for the coming year. Also, the class president in some schools is in charge of building funds for the class to use for activities, such as prom.[2] Students in this position are also often looked to as token student voice representatives.[3] Senior-class presidentIn some schools, there is a senior-class president. The senior-class president is elected by popular vote and serves as the leader of the senior class in a high school or college. He or she is sometimes responsible for planning some of the events surrounding graduation. After graduation, the senior-class president is sometimes put in charge of planning class reunions in the years to come. In addition, being a class president is a position wherein you need to be responsible inside the room. You will also develop your leadership skills considering the daily task being given to you by the teachers and other persons. Standing in this position will emboss yourself as a yearning individual as well as more prominent and knowledgeable as the day passes by. You can conduct a rules inside the class where you in, as well as you'll serve as the top eye of your fellow classmates to initiates an excellent environment all throughout the year. Popular culture referencesThe stereotype of the class president has been typecast in books,[4][5] movies and television. Typical storylines sometimes contain a nerd or underdog claiming the title from a more popular student. The stereotype has also been used as a political allegory since the early 1900s,[6] describing everyone from the president of the United States to roles for African-American women in the U.S. Congress.[7] Fictional characters in the role of class president have included:
