In an American high school, is there a Head boy and a Head girl like there is here?

• Actually my class president was assassinated. It was a "magic spitball" during lunch hour. Very sad story

• I was trying to explain it to Burned, if you care to have a look :)
  It's more about representing the school kind of thing, like the head boy and girl are chosen because they've done well in their exams, and they're well liked, and good speakers and stuff.

• ah, i don't snoop in ppls comments without being invited to be honest. thanks. it makes some sense. we have scottish exchange students come to my high-school every year. they've told us that the whole president of the class isn't how they do business over there. different cultures i would guess.

• They're like the head of the school kind of thing?
  In sixth year, the head teacher chooses a boy and a girl to be the head of the year, and they have to make all the speeches and stuff. You have to have interviews and that.
  It obviously doesn't happen in America.

• There's a class president. But that's always appeared to be something people could impress colleges with more than having an actual function.

• Does every class have a president, then?

• Yes. The movie Election is an excellent view of American high school government and suburbia too.

• I've never seen it. I just might.
  If every sixth year class had a president, there would be tons though. Because there's maybe 7 or 8 different registration classes. We have year heads as well. But that's not as important.

• Likewise, I have no idea what you're talking about. What's a registration class?

• So we have primary school, then high school.
  High school lasts for six years. When you start first year, everyone is split up into registration classes. Basically, everyone in that class, has the same classes at the same time, so you all stay together until third year, when you pick your own subjects.
  But throughout those six years, you register every morning with the people in your class, and you get RE twice a week, and PSE with them.
  I'm not sure if that made sense, but okay...

• It made some sense. The only things I knew about school in Britian previously is what I've seen in To Sir With Love and The History Boys.

• So you've been educated by Lulu and James Corden. Nice.

• Lulu has invented herself a strange new accent, and James Corden is just a total babe.
  So reasonably well.

• Oh sorry, I never thought. I'm in the UK.
  It isn't even a private school thing here, public schools have a head boy and a head girl. I was just wondering. Ta :)
