Hi Everyone,
I have a student who's taken little pencils, trinkets, pens, silly putty, etc.
from other students desks. She has admitted to it and has spoken with the
principal several times about it. She said that she was going to return
everything by Friday but she did not. (When I asked her if she had returned
them, she said everything but the silly putty). When I asked the students if
they had received their items, they said no. (They do not know that it is her
for sure, but they suspect her because of her history).
I also have a teacher's edition book (small paperback) that's missing. She
wrote me a note insisting that she did not take it, but I wonder otherwise.
Fortunately, parent-student-teacher conferences are on Monday. ;>
Any ideas about putting the kibosh on classroom kleptomania? This is a private
school, and I like leaving my marked-up novels and teacher's editions out where
I can grab them easily and not have to worry about thievery.
Thanks so much,
Nancy
