What do young people think about random selection in student governments? @SimonPekProf, Jeffrey Kennedy & @AdamCronkright find support for random selection among elementary and high school students in Bolivia. Read here: delibdemjournal.org/article/id/565/

Turns out @Gladwell did a podcast on an experiment by Adam Cronkite on randomly selected students' councils in #Bolivia that shows how #lotteries can identify/make great leaders in a way that #elections can't. revisionisthistory.com/episodes/44-th…

An amazing idea! We've put together some resources on how to incorporate democratic lotteries into high school (and elementary) student governments that might help: democracyinpractice.org

No surprises here ; )

This post is unavailable.

Not to mention learning from the outset to think more creatively about what 'democracy' can look like! Such a shame to teach 99% of kids that their only contribution is an occasional vote.

If we could at least do this at the school level. Think about how many kids would find their voice at an earlier stage of life.

@Gladwell love the most recent RH. As a local elected official, I’ve been saying for years that running for the position and doing the job are 2 diff skill sets that rarely reside in the same person.

There's been so much great work on democratic lotteries and government that we've found inspiring. Too much to list but would highly recommend checking out @masslbp, @ClaudiaChwalisz, @newdemocracyAUS, @SortitionNow, democracyrd.org/about/ and joinofbyfor.us to start.

To understand just how genius this is you’ll have to listen to the latest Revisionist History...

@gladwell @pushkinpods — I’m the new Lawrenceville Student Body President and I’m listening to the newest Revisionist History episode. I was in this conference room reimagining about StuCo elections, and when I won, I decided to change the process. himalaya.com/en/episode/100…
