At your school, who usually makes the decision to punish the student who is found cheat in an exam or getting into a fight? "The school authority, of course!" You would probably say. And in the No. 10 Middle School, a special student committee has the finally say. Wang Wei, who was made the president of the committee, told us that his school encouraged self-education and self-management between students. The committee deals with students who break away school rules. And it will collect opinions from the people concerned before handing out a formal opinion to the school authority. In most case, the school authority follows their opinions in the end. In this way students who are in charge of the committee feel more happy and free.
