So students, every year there are two monitors selected from your class, right? I'm writing this article from my past experiences. This is practiced in most schools. All monitors/leaders are generally the "best boy" of the class/school (in discipline), or maybe the highest academic scorer (Well, the criteria does vary from school to school- I have written the common practice) .

The reason is-" The last train/bus for reaching school had departed before I reached the station/bus stand " Seems a bit funny, right? Yes, it is.
