REVIEW:
This Web site is a place for student governments to meet and exchange ideas. Student governments register at the site. Users can search the database to locate participating schools. The site also has a page that highlights issues important to students such as student apathy and the funding of religious organizations. This is a great resource for student governments to use when discussing topics in their specific meetings as well as getting an idea of what other country student governments are dealing with. History, current events and political science teachers and students could also use this site as a launchpad for discussions.
