How do I deal with this?

<p>Ok, so at the end of last year, the previous president of our math club appointed a new president, and we figured he would be a good choice. And then the summer meetings started. He became someone no one could stand. He makes mandatory meetings that are driving everyone away, does nothing to advance the club whatsoever, makes people feel worse about their math skills then they already do, is very pessimistic about the club, and is running the club into a whole. I can't stand it anymore. Even the past president agrees and told him this </p>

<p>I think there are things wrong with your character. I'm not trying to insult you. Rather, I think that you could be better</p>

<ol>
<li><p>You're arrogant. You believe that you're better than most people, probably by a significant margin. It's okay to be better, but you flaunt your superiority. You insult other people and disrespect them because of it.</p></li>
<li><p>You're stubborn. You refuse to believe that you may be wrong. And instead of proving a point, you just ignore complaints or say that they're not worth listening to.</p></li>
<li><p>You're narrow-minded. Your definitions are singular and you lack the ability to see the world beyond your own eyes. You don't try to understand other people's views. You accept that they are different, but you do not accept how they can be correct.</p></li>
<li><p>You're pessimistic. You assume the worst in people. You don't assume that they can be better or that you can even help them be better. You just accept their failures and let them be. Even when they succeed you do not acknowledge it</p></li>
</ol>

<p>BTW, nobody saw any of this coming.</p>

<p>Anyone ever have to deal with something like this? Any suggestions?</p>

<p>//and is running the club into a HOLE//</p>

<p>Wow, I can’t believe I actually wrote that…Now I know I need to go to bed</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>good night. sleep tight. don’t let the bed bugs bite.</p>

<p>Can you have a meeting with the whole team and talk to him? Can you tell him that none of you agree with the way he is acting or running the club? If that doesn’t work can you force him to step down by just telling him he can no longer be the president? That sounds simplistic but it has worked for clubs that I have joined in the past.</p>

<p>^ I think that’s what we’ll do. Thanks.</p>

<p>Make a new math club and appoint yourself president. Call it Math Club X
(American History X reference)</p>

<p>If you tell him everything you’ve mentioned in that list, don’t expect him to smile and agree with you.</p>

<p>get a group of your friends to join you and secede from the math club.</p>

<p>if you vote him down he can’t just continue to be President</p>

<p>high school clubs aren’t dictatorships</p>

<p>Very true, and basically the whole club feels the same way I do. And I know he wouldn’t necessarily agree, but if the whole club doesn’t agree, either he’ll step down or he’ll quit</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Ha, sadly that’s the first thing I saw too… and I looked down just to see if anyone commented on it.</p>

<p>I’m president for my math club, just talk to him…</p>

<p>this wouldn’t happen to be a person in a certain ap chem class with me would it???</p>

<p>This wouldn’t be a certain student who thinks he can go to Harvard. Yet, when he opens it mouth it sounds like he’s choking on a chipmunk.</p>

<p>Impeach him.</p>

<p>Impale him!</p>
