The ILS rating committee, which includes 10th and 8th graders Maria Nedbailova, Ekaterina Matlina, Sonya Selivonchik, Asya Alekseeva, Aleksandra Klimochkina and Anastasia Peshko, issued their results for students’ extracurricular activities.
“For us, the student rating, which is compiled by students, confirms the teachers’ trust in us,” explains ILS Student Council President Sonya Selivonchik. “We try to be fair and objective, using data given to us by homeroom teachers. Another good source of information for us is the ILS website.
The idea of creating a rating originated last year, when ILS held its first Student Council elections. ILS students unanimously supported the initiative for personal ratings unrelated to a student’s academic success.
“The rating committee’s work involves great responsibility and effort,” notes ILS Principal Olga Shevchenko. “For the committee members, it is an important task, as they are responsible not only to themselves but also to the entire school community, and if even a very small event in which a student participated is ignored, the rating immediately loses its objectivity.”
