    At parent conferences I give artwork back to the parents.
    Unfortunately, we don't get a lot of parents so I still have much left
    over. Someone on the list mentioned a brilliant idea to announce that
    when you give work back to the students, anything left behind or thrown
    in the trash gets an F. I used that idea at the end of the school year
    and it worked like a charm. As this person mentioned, it must not be
    "cool" for them to take their work home, but when the teacher _forces_
    you, well, what can you do?

    Oh, and I did cruise around the hallway to check the trash cans for art.
