In my final year at school, I 7) a scholarship to Cambridge University. Cambridge was child’s play and I sailed 8) every exam I took, finally getting a first class honours degree 9) natural sciences. On graduating 10) Cambridge, I went on to Oxford to 11) research 12) atomic particles. 13) completed my research, I took 14) a teaching post at Harvard, where I lectured 15) astrophysics.

It was my misfortune to be Lionel Mendax’s form master in his last year at school. Lionel was a 0) liar and an inveterate cheat who, when not 1) truant, plagued the hell out of both myself and my teaching colleagues. Contrary to his own inflated opinion of his intellectual abilities Lionel was not a 2) student. Far from it. He was at best a 3) candidate for his GCSE exams and as such it was perhaps a blessing that he was 4) from the school before he took them. It is only fair, however, that I should give Lionel credit where credit is due. No one had ever been 5) out of Greyfriars School before.

The Credit Card School

0 Enforcing rules is a problem in many educational institutions,

1 as students often perceive them as be dull and negative in tone.

2 One school claims to have it a solution, however. Primary school

3 pupils at the village of Steeple Morden are been given credit-card

4 sized copies of the school’s new code of behaviour. They are

  1. encouraged to carry with them at all times. Pupils have to follow

  2. nine basic rules ranging from “Don’t run in the corridor” to “Work

  3. hard”. They cover essential social skills which there need to be

8 learnt at an early age, but they also enable to the school to point

9 to something if the children do something is wrong. The rules

10 were agreed in consultation with the children, who therefore

11 understand exactly what they mean. The idea, which appeals to

12 the children, who love the responsibility of keeping the cards

13 and see that the whole idea as very grown-up and business-like.

14 Parents are encouraged to get so involved in talking to their

15 children about the rules, and for why they are needed.

16 The system seems likely to take off and be adopted by other

17 schools as a more friendly or way of presenting school rules.
