Any school is a dictatorship. A few with power over the masses.

I'd say democratic, cause if it were any other system the U.S. army would have invaded and "liberated" it.

I would say heirarchy or a monarchy.
The princalpal's in charge, but the teachers/guidance consolors also have power. |

I really don't know. I even looked them up on my dictionary and I got pretty much the same definition. (can tell i'm pretty gov't illiterate) I thought dukesoccer07 was describing a dictatorship? |

Socialism: 1. Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy. 2. The stage in Marxist-Leninist theory intermediate between capitalism and communism, in which collective ownership of the economy under the dictatorship [meaning control] of the proletariat [working class ] has not yet been successfully achieved. Communism: 1. A theoretical economic system characterized by the collective ownership of property and by the organization of labor for the common advantage of all members. 2. The Marxist-Leninist version of Communist doctrine that advocates the overthrow of capitalism by the revolution of the proletariat; claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people. |

I'd say my high school is a dictatorship, as Rivendell (Jess) said...it's true, though - we have no say in anything. We protest and they don't listen.

I'd say my school is a true communist "government." We had an ass for a principal but he's since given into our demands (after numerous protests/walkouts/sit-ins) and now the student body and administration are on somewhat equal ground.

I'd say limited decromacy. The president- the principle and elected leaders that represent us the people (students). We elect our student leaders each year to take care of the stuff for us.

Err.. Well, my school's government is based on.. guess what!! POPULARITY!!!! Not like I want to be part of student council but it's so stupid. Some of the people on the higher parts of our council are sooo stupid.
Plus, it's a known fact that our school president is a pot head. But it's really a democarcy. We vote on our leaders. |

Democracy. Yeah, the principal, faculty, and staff make decisions as far as rules but we have elections and vote for our Student Council and such. In fact, elections are going on right now in my school

i'd say a representative democracy. we elect SGA officers, who actually have a lot of say in the schools' activities.
