Damaged Books

[Leigh Roberson <robandleigh@COASTALNET.COM>]

Hi!

First of all, I want to say how much I enjoy reading this listserv.  I have
gotten a lot of good ideas from here.  Thanks for being here!

I want to pose this question:  How do you handle students who write in
books?  I recently did some detective work and pinpointed who had been
doing this and called her in.  She denied it of course until I got a
handwriting sample.  She confessed then.  I have her coming in for lunch
tomorrow to erase pencil marks out of books.

We have also had a problem of books ending up in the toilets.  I don't know
how to stop this.  I can't help these children's irresponsibility.  I don't
want to make a big issue of it simply because it will let the students know
how to push my buttons.  Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thank you for your input.
