Teachers' voice is heard through unions, parents' voice is heard through the parent-teacher association and constituencies ensure that their voices are heard through their elective legislators. Why is the school system continues to ignore students' voice in school reform?
Can the National Union of Students extend its influence to schools?

The National Union of Students can extend its influence to schools, the issue then becomes whether this influence will translate to quality instruction in all classrooms where students' voice plays a major role in what is being taught, how it is being taught, when it is being taught, and how it is assessed.
You know, students are future slaves of the system, and the purpose of education is to prepare those slaves to serve, and not to rule or to lead or to be equal. Maybe that is the reason.
Shouldn't "slaves of the system" have a say? After all, every leader needs followers, and nothing is wrong in listening to the voice of the followers on things that affect their well-being.
