I guess I’m just not seeing why she is taking all this upon herself and making herself ill over it. It’s fine that she’d like to see her urban school be like more of a middle class school, but what makes her think that a student can accomplish that all alone? If you look at how the better middle class schools run – it has nothing to do with student gov’t, but rather with the faculty’s oversight over student events and ideas. If she wants to make the place better and save her sanity, she should do whatever she “has” to do as student body president, which is likely not much, plus take on one or two other long term projects; it sounds like she has chosen to be involved with parents and that’s a good project, add to that a handbook or two and that should be more than plenty for a year.

The teacher might be a disaster, but if she continues to take on projects she doesn’t need to and then they turn out this way, she will continue to be blamed and screamed at, so why bring it on herself?
