    Nora - have tried everything except chaining my scissors down - splashed with
    red nail polish in an abstract pattern. The scissors look ugleeeee when I
    am done. One of my first graders took my good fiskers home during the
    summer. She came back that fall and when I tried to put them away
    as they were marked with my markings - she said no they were hers. I kept
    them
    and Mother came in yelling at me for taking her daughters scissors. I
    explained
    my markings and she said well they did the same thing with their nail polish
    - I asked why they didn;t write a name instead and she said this was faster.
    Another
    art teacher splashes hers with ugleee black paint - scissors are stolen just
    as fast.
    With some kids I think it is a challenge rather than a need!!! &8>0 Roberta
