Did anyone have friends at school who were pretty OK maybe even cool, and then they became Prefects and everything changed and they didn't seem so OK any longer and it seemed as if that little taste of power had turned them? Xltronic = School Moderators = Prefects |

Is there a US equivalent of Prefect? |
||||||||
|

|
Some friends who became prefects remained OK btw. Shane - I don't know, is there? Probably in private schools. |

Do they spank each other with slippers and stuff as well? |

would this be the same as an RA at a college dorm? basically someone who is in charge (and a student) of a certain dorm area and has to make sure no funny business is going on. |

mappatazee: prefect (u.k.) = narc (u.s.a.) |

I didnt know School prefects really existed. *Blame Harry Potter* In USA we call them "Hall Moniters" and they'r purpose dissolved by the fifth grade.... |

In Scotland, they begin in the 5th year, which is Junior year in America. |

Classic w M w Weakling Child - obviously not all schools have prefects - the school I attended had prefects but don't be fooled into thinking it was a classy establishment - we had our minks, too |

Shut up... prefect *gasps* |

I was a Prefect (as well as head of house) in school, so your theory about prefects = moderators is at least partly true. However, I had loads of mates and used to get into trouble all the time in school, never went to lessons, used to go to the pub at lunchtime, etc. I never 'prefected' peers (that would be dickish), merely the little kids who were being a nuisance. I suppose the 'trolls' of the real world... I was about as far removed from your stereotypical prefect as you could imagine. You're right though, some people who were made prefects, the power went to their heads and they used it without discression and I found myself liking them less and less. I found this more true of the girls than the boys. Even our head boy used to regularly join in our rucks with rival schools. |

Ceri, I often wonder if you were born whistling the Eton Boat Song. |

Genuine LOL. I suppose underage drinking and nailing the lovelies from the girls school down the road is par for the course at Eton nowadays :) I never really get on with public school kids (Americans, that means private schools here, funnily enough), with a couple of exceptions. When I lived in Bristol I knew a lot of them and for the most part, they were superficial, false and you never really felt they were letting their guard down and you were getting to know them. Still: A member of the School rowing club, Fencing, Playing the Violin and regular school assemblies at the local cathedral- it may as well have been public school. I really do chuckle when I see my life on paper and imagine the preconceptions people must have of me based on that. As those here who've met me in real life will confirm, I'm a lot more down to earth. |

Yep you seem like a nice guy - but you're right, sometimes when written down your life looks like the perfect upper-middle-class existence of the old days :p |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And in spite of that, I grew up in a dilapidated house with no carpets on the floors (bare concrete floors in some rooms), in a welsh ex-docking town, with a crippled economy. Still, bettering yourself is nothing to be ashamed of, what what? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So how come your upbringing and your bearing seem so incongruous? I wouldn't say it was anything about 'bettering' oneself because I don't think the old middle classes and above are better than the working class. |

Quality! Unfortunately that picture is now out of date. The "head enlarging jacket" has been replaced by a sleek, body hugging 'proper' bike jacker. The bike looks rather different now and my hair has been cut shorter. Note the new avatar... |

...and the helmet and gloves are different. |

We were fairly poor when I was a little kid, no family car, hand me down clothes, etc. But both my parents were well educated (particularly in a literary sense), so I suppose that has rubbed off on me. When I say 'bettering', I don't mean better in a morally superior sense: I'm going for a job interview tomorrow with a view to being an expert witness for a company who defend people who are as guilty as sin. That's certainly 'worse' than someone who sweeps the streets. I mean better as in 'better educated' and happier because of it, both in terms of my mental capacity to enjoy life and also through being able to find interesting work. I've done manual labour in the past and whilst it's certainly "honest work", it bores me. A lot of the kids at the high school I went to were a lot better off than me and from posh families, so again, I suppose their mannerisms, habits and tastes have all influenced mine. |

I think the quality of the jacket concerned is up there with the infamous purple trousers. When I'm rich and famous, I'll auction it off and use the proceeds to buy MP3 players loaded with IDM for 3rd world orphans. |

So would you say your family were more inclined to the Middle Class ethos? That's what I was trying to fathom. By that, I'm asking whether your parents had jobs that were menial or unskilled or involved labour (plumber, sparky, driver etc). |
