How to be FAIR?


Question Posted Tuesday October 9 2007, 12:37 pm

I was recently elected student body president. And everyone already thinks I'm a failure.

I was given 400 free t-shirts to give out to the students, but there are 600 students. Everyone is picking on me begging me to "save one for them" or bitching about how its unfair that everyone doesnt get one.. but thats the way it is, i cant do anything about it!!

Now I've already given out about 100, but the system I was using is NOT working since its causing such a big problem.

So Im going to walk around the different classes in two days and tell them that I have XXX (number of shirts) for the class, and that it means not all of them will recieve one, but that they atleast get to choose the system used for deciding who gets a shirt.

Now what different options are there? All I've got is a)lottery, b) teacher gets to decided, c) i just leave them for the class and they make a decision as a whole, any more suggestions? anything that would be wise to say while walking around??


THANK YOU!

Next school assembly where all the student body is present, have a box to draw 400 names from. Well, I guess 300 since 100 are already taken.
That is as fair as it gets, and there will be no arguing amongst the students.

I guess that is the same as your lottery idea?

If anyone asks, tell them "I wish you luck at the next assembly."

you should just raffle them off at lunch, or have all the students gather around (maybe have an assembly) and throw them into the crowd.
