Ernesto: Ah, Peter! You need to sign my petition! Petey: Hi, um, Ernesto. What is it? Ernesto: It nominates me, Ernesto Lacuna, for president of the student council- Petey: Oh, yeah! Okay! Ernesto: OF THE HIGH SCHOOL. Petey: The High school? Ernesto: Yes, I feel that my considerable executive talent would be wasted at the elementary school level. You're not signing. Petey: Oh! Yeah! Okay!

That’s one way to get him gone…

Ernesto Lacuna (if he really exists) may be overplaying his hand. I’m not sure an eight-year old will have the gravitas to preside over a high school, no matter how slick!

I’d sign it too as long as it wasn’t for my school.

Ernesto is going to have a very poor childhood, will miss him completly.

If Ernesto has to sign his own name, does he leave it blank?

Considering how high up the page Petey is writing, he may be the first and only name on that petition.

Not sure why Ernesto would want to waste his time on something like that. Student councils are an utterly fraudulent bit of con-artistry and are only designed to give the kids the illusion that they have some control over what happens to them. (If you need any confirmation, just ask yourself: “Did the food served in the cafeteria actually get better after the new student council got elected?”) In reality, it’s the School Board that makes decisions about about what happens in the schools; NOT the students.
