Answers
You can either use the following discussion or develop your own taking ideas from it:
Student A: Hey I want to discuss something quite important with you. Are you free?
Student B: Yes, I am! What happened? Anything serious?
Student A: Yes, I want to talk with you our monitor’s misuse of the power and authority given to him!
Student B: You are right! Even I have observed! I wanted to talk it with you then I just postponed it.
Student A: Everyday he just struts bossing us around for uniform. He takes sadist’s pleasure in penalizing the students who are not in proper uniform.
Student B: You are right! Yesterday he made me pay fine for not wearing the belt which I forgot to wear in hurry!
Student A: I have often seen him wearing wrong socks many times. Most of the students don’t like it. he is behaving as if he is the chairman of the school.
Student B: There is mutiny brewing against him in the class. I think, since he is our friend, we must talk to him,
Student A: We need to tell him we don’t like his biased inspection. We need to tell him true leaders are role models. If he does not become a perfect role model of ideal example, students will rise against him. There will be mass compliant against him. And he no longer will remain the monitor.
Student B: If he does not listen to us, we will straightway go to the class teacher and inform her the liberties he is taking.
Student A: I think we must talk to him first.
Student B: Let’s go to him then and put some sense into his head.
Follow up questions and answers:
Do you think the teacher can...?
Yes, the teachers, especial the class teacher can surely take him to task for breaking the rules. The class teacher will remind him this will deteriorate the uniform discipline in the class. The other students will feel tempted to break the uniform rules too.
How easy/difficult do you think it would be for you...?
It will not be easy complaining to the monitor as he will feel his authority bypassed. If he were mature, he would not wear the wrong socks himself. So I will have to face some difficulty.
