There are prefects in our high schools who are chosen for their obvious
talents for leadership, and any that bully students or behave in any
unseemly manner would immediately lose their badge and their job.
The primary schools where I taught had student councils which I
instituted. The kids themselves had elections each year to choose next
year's Councillors and their choices were usually good ones. The teachers
also had a vote. The Student Council held weekly meetings attended by me
and they each reported on their week's activities. Each wore a small
pin-on metal badge.There was a Head Girl and a Head Boy. The Councillors
were tyrated with respect by the other students, who after all had elected
them.
Each Councillor was given a job, his or her responsibility for the year.
One had to issue sporting gear at recess and sports times and had to check
it in after the activity finished. Another assisted in the library.
Another was responsible for checking the school yard for litter and their
was a duty gang daily whose responsibility was to clean up each day. There
were about 12 Councillors each with a duty to perform. Only on one
occasion did I sack a Councillor who was not carrying out her duties.
These kids (11 and 12 years of age) took their jobs seriously.
Cheers,
Bob VK6BE.
>hat looks rather nice. Yes Ian, ok... we had a arms length "P"
and also it seems one student who was a Prefect even somehow
had some Fraternity house permission for cappa cappa whatever...
so it went well with his "P" and eggo.
Wrong school to have Prefect system in, as they were looked on as
RATS and squealling wasn't appreciated, and all students came
from working homes.
