Maggie, I tried this once...and found they were still "one step up on me".
They didn't have "cubbies" to keep their own supplies, but we had shelves
with the items stored there. I had some students who thought nothing of
taking the tape flag off of another person's tools and putting one of their
own on it...then the person who was missing theirs was not the "culprit".
This happened a lot when someone would be absent.
