School Teur

Teur - yes that is the right spelling, is a French word that means teacher. A junior boy is assigned a Teur for mentorship and preparation for the House Test. The person who comes first in the House Test is declared House Scholar for the year.

The school teur is normally a Form Four student. You called him "My Teur" and he called you "My Boy". You also belonged to a nuclear family of related teurs. The Boys in your set in the family were also your Boys.
