<p>^Unfortunately, I think it does.</p>
<p>I used to wonder if it wasn’t a popularity contest everywhere. That, maybe, one day I’d find a school who based their votes on intelligence.</p>
<p>I then realized this was completely insane. Not to say I couldn’t win a position in student council. I just saw the massive flaw in this system. I actually proposed to a teacher one time that we should make them have a certain GPA and number of honors/AP courses. It got shot down pretty swiftly because we would have had to remove a little over half of our student council. It’s a crooked system, man.</p>
