During the general election of 1951, our headmaster allowed the school to hold a mock election.
The headmaster smiled at the pupils of the teacher who were standing in the hall.
The headmaster called to the teacher of the pupil who was thinking about the school play.
They called for the headmaster to consult his staff rather than his prefects.
Importantly, both the campaign agent and the headmaster were active participants in the constitution-making process.
The school reformed around a chastened headmaster who abandoned his ideas of reform in favor of a renewed politics of paternal leadership and personal loyalty.
We are grateful to the teachers and headmasters of the schools participating in this study.
As the headmaster told me, 'learning computers at this early age will ensure that they have an advantage over other students in the future'.
