Students Speak Out At Sam Ward
I recently attended Sam Ward Upper School to join a panel to answer questions from students. The panel was made up of representatives from local business, press, education and politics.
Among the questions asked were; Why does Haverhill not have a rail station? What is the point of a by-law banning drinking in public? Should the legal age for sex be reduced from 16?
The students had prepared for this debate by discussing issues of democracy. After the questions were finished there was a vote for representatives on the school council.
