Writing in text books okay?

We aren’t allowed to write in the books, and I don’t do it myself. But I love to see other people’s notes in the books. It turns a monster textbook into something with personality.

We aren’t allowed to write to the extent that they check up on it. At the beginning of the year we fill out forms that state all the pages with tears, wrinkles, and permanent writing. This also includes damage to the binding and covers. Then at the end of the year, we give the books back and they supposedly check them. If there’s enough damage they’ll make you pay for it, but I don’t think any teachers actually check the books. They have better things to do than sit and go through textbooks to look for writing.
