The days when hall monitors trolled the corridors may be a thing of the past. However, the word is that some hall monitors are still in existence. Some of these monitors wear the flashy arm band that distinguishes them as a member of the student body assigned to keep order as students shuffle through the halls. When class is in session and the halls are silent, a hall monitor will make sure there is no funny business erupting in the corridors. The hall monitor may think that the job is noble. Often times the hall monitor might think that becoming a monitor is a great resume builder and will perhaps look attractive to colleges. This is far from the truth. Even colleges are claiming that the position of hall monitor is just a euphemism for a mild-mannered retard.
Several years ago I had an unfortunate experience. A young lady had somehow ignored the hall monitor and refused to answer the young man wearing the idiotic armband. The monitor asked her: "Where is your hall pass, bitch?" but got no response. This young lady was about 20 minutes late to my class, and I questioned her when she tried to enter. I said: "Do you know that you are twenty minutes late?" She paused and then replied: "I'm sorry...I was being raped in the boys' bathroom." I let her into the class and then took her straight to the office. This was no laughing matter, and the hall monitor came with me for support.
