Interesting.

The 46 year-old man watched calmly as the President of the Board of Governors started the session and as each candidate stood up and gave their answer to the questions already posed. Some of them made him smile a little. He also loved how diversed the candidate's background was. That would surely enrich the teaching at Hogwarts and Seth approved of that completely.

So interesting. Yes, everything was very interesting there.

Alright, it was his turn now. "Good evening." He smiled warmly at the audience and candidates. "I am Seth Macmillan, teacher at the British Primary Charm School and I was invited to help organize this debate." There, enough information. Surely everyone knew about the school he teacher at, so brilliant! Time to move on.

Seth turned around a little to face the candidates again, but never turning his back to the audience. "First I would like to congratulate all of you. Every one of you is doing a very good job tonight!" He smiled as he looked at each candidate in the eyes for a second. Everyone could use some encouragement now, he was sure. Okay, now the question. Seth kept smiling at them as he spoke. "Second, we don't have any time to waste, so onto the next question, yes!?" Yes! Life was short.



A particularly good question in his opinion, being a teacher himself. Smile!


.........
OOC: PLEASE GUYS, JUST ANSWER ONE QUESTION PER POST! We won't take catch up posts into consideration anymore, kay? Thank yooou!

This is the fourth question and should only be answered by those who have answered the first three.

For Gavin Higareda, Althea Schirmer, Roxanne Carter, Cooper Cope: Do you feel it is important as a board member to work along side of the professors and keep them in the know of everything going on or do you feel the board should be separate?

For Nolan Reynolds, Erik Vinteren, Ivy Knox: If you were to be elected onto the board, what would you ensure becomes a priority as far as the long term plans of the Board are concerned?

For Sherman Clark: If a personal or professional situation arose at the same time as an equally important situation arose in the school, which would you deem more important to attend to first, and why?

For everyone else: Why do you feel you are more qualified for this position than the other candidates?


Mhm. Her next question was another good one. Lourdes could tell that the debate team have been doing a lot of preparing for this event. They had a lot of nice questions, very interesting too. And whatever questions were thrown at them, they had to answer and give their best. Plus Lourdes knew every action was being watched. When she felt she was ready (like she always was), Lourdes walked to the front of the stage for her time to speak. She gave the audience a smile. A genuine smile. She won't smile if it was fake anyway? Why hide the true feeling?

Now everyone, listen.

"Well, I do think it is important for the members of the Board of Governors to maintain close ties and to be able to communicate with the professors teaching in Hogwarts. However, there must be limitations. I believe that the governors could still work along side with the professors, but there are things that are exclusive and only the Board should know. It may not be everything the professors know, because there are always confidential things only the Board knows and I guess this right should be respected. But I agree that we should keep the professors updated with some things that they need to know." Yes, need. What's the use of telling the professors things they DON'T necessarily need. They're there to teach and help students. The Board is just another branch of it. "Thank you."

Listening to the group finish up she cleared her throat and sat up. Brushing her blond hair off her shoulder she smiled, "Good Evening, I'm Victoria Maroon and I work with the department of magical sports and games." She looked at each person before continuing. "I have your next question if you are all ready." Looking one last time at each member Victoria glanced at her papers.



Glancing back at the candidates, Victoria waited for their answers, hoping for great responses from each of them.

OOC:This is the fifth question and should only be answered by those who have answered the first four.

For Gavin Higareda, Althea Schirmer, Roxanne Carter, Cooper Cope: Would you consider to be important for a School Governor to be in contact with the students in any way? Why or why not?

For Erik Vinteren, Nolan Reynolds, Sherman Clark: Do you feel it is important as a board member to work along side of the professors and keep them in the know of everything going on or do you feel the board should be separate?

For Ivy Knox, Andrew Rose: If you were to be elected onto the board, what would you ensure becomes a priority as far as the long term plans of the Board are concerned?

For Carter Phillips, Lourdes Black: If a personal or professional situation arose at the same time as an equally important situation arose in the school, which would you deem more important to attend to first, and why?

For everyone else: Why do you feel you are more qualified for this position than the other candidates?


And then another question. The debate was going real fast, don't you think? However the speed of the debate didn't really make Lourdes nervous. It didn't. She was in front of the Ministry, her people, and the ones that know her. Who knows maybe even her manager was there, watching her answer and keeping a keen eye to her every action? Mariel was watching her from the seating area, she knew that. The two women have talked before Iam Amoroso called all the candidates onto the stage. Once again, the question was a good one. The questions all were, however this one didn't seem as brain-racking as the rest of the questions. But of course, she was still being watched.

Lourdes made her way onto the front of the stage. Proper posture, and cue the smile for the audience... that's it. Now that she was in front again, everyone was going to listen. Lourdes did not tolerate the rude people, to be completely honest. "That is a really nice question. In fact, all the questions for this debate are good." Lourdes nodded at Victoria. That was her employee, everyone! Lourdes was really proud of her employee to be chosen for this debate. Way to represent Games & Sports. "But anyway, yes I do believe that the Board of Governors should be in contact with the students because the Board is there for the students in the first place. One of the main goals the Board was is to make sure that the students have and receive proper and adequate education while they are studying at Hogwarts. Through the students, the Board can find ways on how to improve the school with the help of their opinions. I believe that the Board should always be open for the students if they want to raise their concerns about certain things, like problems they are facing at school. The members of the Board of Governors should always welcome the suggestions of the students, as well. And as Mr. Clark says, the board members should maintain a healthy relationship with the Hogwarts students." There was a smile on Lourdes' face after speaking. She was definitely pleased with her response.

"Thank you," Lourdes nodded and went back to her seat.
