That school principals should be elected by school communities.

What exactly do you mean by school communities?

Where I am from school principal choices are selected by the super intendant and the school district board, the choices are then voted on by the parents whom have children attending the school where the principal is being voted upon.

Side: affirmative

Onto my first point, if students are put into the position to vote for a school principle then it would create social divides, because if one friend is voting for one principle then another friend would be pressured into voting for the same principle just to be cool and be on the same side as her friend. Also if one friend votes or one principle and the other thinks that the other principle would be better and votes for that one then the other friend might think differently of the other friend and start treating her differently and not being her friend anymore. Onto my second point, voting for a school principle would put some students in an awkward position because it is such a big responsibility to vote for something that has a big impact on their school life, their education and the best possible role model for the students and someone that they can look up to and represent them.

Side: negative

Elected by who? Surely not the students. It should be the job of the members of the school district board and the super intendant.

I think school principals should not be elected by school communities because the students and parents may not be satisfied and since they won't know whether the principal is good or not during the election process, I think students and parents should elect new school principal.

Side: Negative
