A Huge pet peeve of mine
By purplecrazy21

Messed up desk nameplates is also one of my big pet peeves. My fourth graders and I tracked back on Tuesday. I had bought and secured brand new nameplates to replace the ones they destroyed the previous nine weeks. By
the end of OUR FIRST DAY back, one tag was missing completely, several were bent and ripped, and about six of them were defaced with various new names, scribbles, etc. I thought hairspray was the only way to get sharpie marker off of paper, but evidently kids are magic and it is erasable!
I have tried putting the nametags on the front or sides of the desk too, and that works no better.

I have resorted to letting the tags come off and be destroyed, and then just not replacing them. If I can't remember who sits where, I just look at one of the books in their desk to see whose name is on the book. :)
I don't know what I'll do if I have a sub though!
