Here's a problem a teacher on another forum posted, but you might be facing the same issue: I'm getting so frustrated with all the stupid little sneaky things kids are doing!
I have gum stuck on a poster, have no idea who did it, I go to use a glue stick, someone stuck the eraser end of a pencil in it! I open up a cabinet to get supplies, I see trash in it! Someone stuck a pencil into the floppy disk of the student computer. Not to mention the endless scribbling on desks!
And that's some of the kiddy stuff. I had someone steal a mass balance before Christmas break and write some nasty things on someone's work.
I don't know what to do because my eyes can't catch everything, and nobody ever fesses up. I don't want to punish the entire class for something one student did. If I saw it, it wouldn't be a problem. But they're so darn sneaky! Any ideas?
