Pieguy's Rant of the Moment: Defaced Textbooks

[Pieguy]

I am SO TIRED of opening up a textbook at school and seeing scrawled pictures of penises and rude slogans all over the pages. I mean, for Chrissake, I open up a science textbook and someone's turned the bloody Hindenburg into a penis!

When will these idiots GROW UP?

You are right, they are immature idiots. I have never understood anyone defacing textbooks that are not theirs; or even theirs. Books are precious to me.

Pie, let me guess. Junior High School? Back in the olden days of yore, we were issued numbered text books and when we turned them in the teacher checked them for defacement, wear and tear and etc. Parents got a bill and grades and advancemnet were withheld until restituion for defaced, lost and etc textbooks.

I was scared spitless, less I got my butt larruped for costing money. I was no angel, but knew better than that, plus I was raised with books and got books for gifts at Xmas and birthdays and was taught not to do such.

Maybe grade and junior high schools should do as many research libraries do, and allow only pencils rather than indelible pens, at least then you could erase the offending members?

My pet peeve, aside from yellow or highlighted or undelined text in public use books, along with margin comments are folded over page marks. Crimminy, get a book mark. If you've got enough to you to read, at least have the decency to resspect the book and thsoe who follow you.

And make your freeking notes on note paper.

Maybe if the defacers saw more penises pictured in books or saw the real thing at beaches, resorts, etc., they'd be less likely to draw them in books.

Yup, Year 9, though here Years 7-12 are all just called high school.

I always did poorly in school. After a while I figured out what my problem was, I was using a black highlighter.

Yeah, what usmc1 said.

I never dreamed of making a mark in any book lest it'd cost me money (dad wouldn't pay for "damaged" schoolbooks, he'd make me work to pay it).

But, there was this leather strap that when wielded one was lifted off the ground and did not touch back down until the strap was put away ... I was very much desireous to avoid being in the strap's presense, if you catch my meaning.
