    Just a suggestion, put a price on the materials. Instead of Johnny broke x
    number of pencils or 15 rulers, say Johnny destroyed $ worth of art
    equipment and disrupted my class. That bill the librarian sends home has a $
    amount on it, do the same.

    Subject: busting pencils

    SInce we are on the theme of stealing scissors (and I am appalled at some of
    your stories and the support parents give to stealing), busting pencils
    seemed to be in vogue again this year.

    Busting pencils drives me nutty.
    Generally I quickly isolate the problem and let that group use itty bitty
    pencils until I think they are responsible to handle decent ones...but every
    so often it seems to be "cool" again. It's tiresome.

    Also I think it is interesting that you can't destroy a book or deface
    property on the outside of a building without penalty, but it is perfectly
    acceptable to destroy art supplies by some adminstrators. It further
    devalues what we do.
