I agree!

Hi Ray,
I totally agree w/ you about the desk situation! I never really thought about this until I read your post and then thought about my students who do exactly that,...........mess around w/ "stuff" in their desks
instead of listening to their teacher or doing their work. Plus, the most frustrating time for me is when I see students cutting or ripping little bits of paper or whatever in their desks, which will eventually fall on the floor!!!
My solution? Well, during the Christmas break I am getting tables and I am going to get those desks out of the classroom. First reason was for more organization
in my room, but now it will also be for keeping little hands out of trouble and attention on the teacher. :-)
Maybe, my solution will give you some ideas.
Jeanne
