For Andrew Rose: Would you consider to be important for a School Governor to be in contact with the students in any way? Why or why not?
Andrew had just been sitting back in his chair on the stage, watching and listening to his fellow candidates speak that he almost missed his name. Good thing he'd been paying slight attention then, at least.
Rising from his seat, he made his way toward the front of the stage in proper format again and smiled down at the crowds. Was it just his imagination or had the crowds thinned out since he last answered a question?
"Depends on what way you are talking about. School Governors are, in some sense, the acting voices of the school. Some contact with students is necessary in order for our job to be properly conducted and to ensure the student voices are heard, as well." He paused. "However, having said that, student contact should be kept to a professional manner."
