Teaching the election to second graders

In My Humble Opinion
21

Dictatorship? My point - exactly

Trick the kids into DEMANDING the right to have some say in the selection of a new “Cookie King”… One who will listen to the will of the people.

Would anyone here like to nominate a candidate?
We can have more than one candidate.
We can let each present their reasons why he/she should get the job.

This time the ballots WILL be counted in public.
The new leader will serve for one week.

New elections every Friday.

To get a little silly - and perhaps beat a dead horse…

I nominate Bobbie.
Why Bobbie?

She likes eclairs as much as I do.
Electing her will not guarentee I’ll get eclairs every day.
Yet, by electing her as the “menu preparer” I’ll know that the option will be there for every day next week.
I think anyone who likes eclairs should vote for Bobbie.
