1. fagging

   Fagging is a traditional practice in British boarding schools where younger students, known as fags or fag boys, are assigned duties or chores by older students, known as prefects or fagmasters. These duties can range from menial tasks like cleaning or running errands to serving as personal assistants to the older students. The purpose of fagging is to instill a sense of discipline, responsibility, and hierarchy within the school community. However, it is important to note that fagging is no longer widely practiced in modern boarding schools due to evolving educational norms and increased focus on equality and respect among students.

1. Fagging

   Fagging was a traditional educational practice in British boarding private schools and also many other boarding schools, whereby younger pupils were required to act as personal servants to the most senior boys. While domestic servants were common in family households, the custom reflected household task distribution and taught pupils about service from both ends of the relationship. Under school rules, fagging might entail harsh discipline and corporal punishment when those were standard practices. Fagging was sometimes associated with sexual abuse at the hands of these older boys. The practice of personal fagging faded away during the 1970s and 1980s, but to some degree has been maintained in former colonies or has been replaced by systems which require junior boys to do tasks for the benefit of the general school community. In England, the word "fag" became slang for a wearisome chore. It was also a punishment for younger children.
