The School Council
| A In the Lower Sixth form (year 12) my school announced the formation of a School Council. This was a type of parliament comprising teachers, school governors and elected pupils representing each of the four school houses. Little did I believe when I got elected to represent the kids in my house that I would get into the deepest trouble of my whole school life. |
| B Sometime later I applied to university. I wanted to go to study in London. I did two interviews (with charm and aplomb I thought), completed their entrance exam and offered my A Level results: 3 A ’s - the highest possible. But I was turned down! I couldn’ t understand it so I reapplied and was turned down again. Why? It didn’ t make sense. I was (so I thought) a perfect applicant. And then I remembered. The result was I didn’ t go to London as I had hoped and dreamed but ended up studying on the south coast — in Brighton! |
| C Detention involved staying behind after school to write a punishment essay of utter meaninglessness. For example, “in no less than 1000 words, describe the inside of a table tennis ball” . “Units” were blocks of 30 times hand written “Junior members of this school ought always to be seen and not heard” . But my brief appearance before the School Council was to bring much worse punishment — and I suppose it was my fault. Here’s what happened so you can decide. The school houses traditionally took part in fund raising activities with the money going to charity — famine relief and the like. |
| D To cut a long story short, I had no proof (the references were confidential) but I had my suspicions. I still do. But I can honestly say I am so glad it turned out the way it did. I loved university and have lived in Brighton ever since. In Brighton I met my wife and brought up my family and I can honestly say there is no other place I’d rather live. Thank God — for The School Council. |
| E This included the chair of the governors and the Head Master! The next day I was called to the Head’s office and given a thorough dressing down. I was, he told me, rude, arrogant, a disgrace and disloyal to the school. He also told me that he was writing my school reference for University applications and dismissed me — my ears red with shame. |
| F Trouble, I believe, that affected the course of my whole life! On the whole I didn’ t get into very much trouble at school. I wasn’ t exactly a “goody two shoes” but on the other hand I managed to successfully avoid getting caught for most of my misdemeanors. When I did get caught — the punishment was either detention or “units” . |
| G The Council voted on a suggestion that in the future all money raised would go towards building a new classroom needed by the school. Encouraged by my voters and supporters, and with all the grace of a bull in a china shop, I said that this decision was an “utter disgrace” . I banged on about social justice and the uncaring nature of the privileged classes. In my debut speech (actually my ONLY speech — I was promptly sacked) instead of politely offering an opinion, I managed to insult everyone in the room. |
| H The Student Council, including representatives from each class, was elected by the student body after a heated political campaign with banners and speeches. It represented student interests to the administration and the school board. It approved student clubs that were formed, helped resolve discipline problems, and played a role in setting codes of conduct and dress. For the most part, it was a docile body that approved the policies of the administration. The Journalism Club published a monthly newspaper of school news and opinion. It was financed by selling ads to business men in the community. |
