I think this is a really interesting idea, and I am very impressed with the way you have thought about one of the potential problems, and then come up with a solution for it.
I think you’re right that children should have more say in the things that affect them at school… But the danger (which you have already recognized) is that this could just become a popularity contest – how would children know if a teacher is good or not if they have never been taught by him or her before?
