This is one of the many reasons why I love living and teaching in the DR. The original article and video can be found HERE on my blog. - RHM
"The Political Science Club at my school recently conducted an election simulation. Each of the three major Dominican presidential candidates (Leonel Fernandez, Miguel Vargas, Amable Aristy) were represented by students who campaigned and debated the issues. The finale was a school-wide election (pre-k through 12th graders voted). This video is a brief overview of the work that went into the project. The election results are at the end. Can you guess who won? Who came in second? Third?"
