Also, I know some people have talked about class presidents and such in
American schools. Most public american schools try to model themselves after
american politics and goverments. And I am only discussing public schools
because some private schools are different. American public schools hold
elections for class president and vice president, some do presidents for
each grade and some schools have a president for the whole school, then you
have student counsels, treasurer, secretary, and representatives for each
grade. The representatives for each grade could sorta be like prefects and
the class president and vice president could be like head boy/girl, except
instead of the school principal or headmaster or teachers choosing them, the
school votes for whom they would like, making it a democratic system.

In the primary grades at my school we also had one student assigned to be
the "room monitor" in each classroom and two line leaders one for the boys
and one for the girls. At my school the room monitors changed every week and
the line leaders changed every day. In the classrooms I work in now, we tend
to keep the same line leader throughout the year and the room monitor
position has been dispensed with. I work with severely handicapped children
and things run a little more smoothly if schedules don't change that much.
