[QUOTE="Andy, post: 280881, member: 5096"] I always thought signing of yearbooks was a personal thing. I so disagree with schools that set aside time just for that (my neighbor girl told me that they spent several [I][U]hours[/U][/I] in school just signing books). This should be something done outside of the classroom time (between classes, before/after school, ect.) and there is no way to police it. It looks like a way for the school to come down hard on one student they may have had problems with all year. I would hope the parent of that kid asks for proof that a fair sampling of all books were policed, not just the kids who are always in trouble. I would not hold the school responsible for anything written in my child's book. This is not a "lesson" but actually an option. I would also not hold the school responsible for anything my child wrote in another book. The problem would be when kids don't keep track of their own books which when fallen into the wrong kids' hands can lead to that kid writing nasty things in the book. That should be dealt with on a single basis, not by the "no one write filth in a book" rule. Maybe that is the problem? You would hope that when you ask a friend to sign it would be a meaningful message but you know when someone who doesn't like you gets hold of your book it may be vandelised. [/QUOTE]
