A very important topic in the educational realm is the body of student choice. Without the choice of students then there would be a high risk of disengagement. Student choice allows students to get involved in decisions involving their grade. In my experience, I have never been a huge student choice oriented person. I never voted for much because in my personal opinion coming from my own high school wasn't the greatest. In my high school, most student body decisions would involve prom, formal, and other EVENTS that the school would be holding. In other school districts, student bodies would actually go to the board of the school and make formal decisions about things going on inside the school. By centering choice, educators signal openness to negotiating the middle ground and offer students scaffolded opportunities to practice decision-making, explore their academic identity, and connect their learning to interests and passions (Merrill).
