I was one briefly. Then I got caught smoking and they took my badge.
I was! Well sort of. I wasn’t initially elected as a prefect, the popular kids where and my bully was too. They did a shit job at it however, and I was chosen to replace them. Most satisfying moment of my high school years.
I was one, made sure everyone including the teachers followed the rules :p
What do you mean who remembers?? They’re still a thing.
I don’t think I ever did anything other than sit in a corridor at lunchtime twice a week as a prefect. Only became one because my folks told me it’d look good on a cv..
It did not.
Ours were called “Monitor” weirdly.
Yeah, they probably all turned into police
Ah yes, the “bully me” badge.
I was a prefect and apart from occasionally hanging around in a hallway at lunchtime and telling younger kids to go outside, I did precisely fuck all.
Mate, I’m a prefect right now and it’s no better.
I could one up that had a ‘student librarian’ years ago when I was in secondary school. Pfftt prefects pathetic , they ain’t got no jurisdiction in these library parts.
Wasn’t a chance in hell I would be one. A friend if mine was though, back in the 70s
May as well have said bellend on them xd
Fucking squares
Wankers
Yup. I also remember Anglias and Cortinas.
Dint have any at my school u posh wankers
Used to sit at the door asking for 1 pound to get to break time
I was not a prefect for long
I was one I guarded the girls toilets in the block furthest away from the staffroom so the smokers could have a fag when it was raining.Also used to sell single fags as used to babysit and have a weekend job in a newsagents so always had access to buying packs
We never had it in secondary school. In primary school we had “school council” and “house captains” which was essentially the same thing 😂 Only benefit of school council is sometimes you got to have meetings with the head teacher and you got your lunch served on a plate instead of plastic. Made you look cool…at the time. We probably looked like losers eating with the teacher
I was a prefect and I literally did nothing all year except wear a different coloured blazer lol.
DO they not have them any more ?
Ford did and also remembered their towel.
I stole my sisters one once
I rose to the rank of deputy headgirl then lost it
Had a form captain one before only because of my amazingly charismatic speech in form one day. we had an election and who knew I was made for politics 🤷♂️ still wouldnt catch me dead rubbing elbows with the twats (usually turn out to be the prefects from school funnily enough )
I was one. We never did anything
In my school, they were given to all the kids that were the children of the teachers. Starting that nepotism nice and early.
I was “head librarian”. When I put a teacher out of the library for bending a book and breaking its back I was “called to see the head teacher” but was astounded when he back me up!
Prefect team leader checking in haha 😂
At my school every class is a prefect for two weeks except you don’t get any privileges you just have to give up your break to maintain some dumb “art table” with no resources that no-one uses. Luckily, I live in Scotland so ‘Its too wet for the art table’ or ‘its too windy for the art table’ are usually believable excuses
Nobody’s prefect.
Oh, what, Peter Perfect the perfect prefect?
Sure I remember him
Grassing Bastards.
One tried to snitch on me to the headteacher for jumping through a plasterboard wall but I beat him up to the office and said I accidentally fell into it…
