Hall Monitor

Maya took on the role of Hall Monitor the other day thereby grabbing hold the reigns of justice the likes of which Les Miserables Javert would even deem a bit over the top. On a sheet of paper she had listed all the kids of whom she assigned tickets for crimes ranging from talking out of turn to not being in line etc. (After all that's what law is all about right? - keeping people in line), and she had nearly every kid in her class on the list - some more than once. I told her she might want to go easy on giving out citations, that handing out tickets is a good way to make yourself really unpopular with your peers. She didn't seem all that concerned - she's seems to subscribe to the idea that you can't break the law you can only break yourself against the law and she's simply been cast in the role as the heavy hand of justice.
