“When schools have opportunities for students to voice their concerns, it shows students that there’s someone willing to listen, and someone willing to speak up for us. Students have a lot of stress placed on them, and they deal with a lot of hard issues. Having a place for students to voice their opinions allows them to address these problems and have a better experience at school.” — Heba
