Re: Kids vandalizing computer files and keyboards

My first question is why you aren't in the room all the time
when there are students there.
If you have classes, keep children on the same PC each time,
with a log. Then you can check the PC's when they log off, to
ensure they are in tact, and if not, you will know who did
damage and take disciplinary steps from there. In our school,
if the class is large, or there are spec-ed kids or other
kids of need in a class, the para stays to help the computer
teacher. You may need to ask for an assistant to help, if the
children are truly destructive, or have the classroom teacher
stay in for part of the time, if possible (or the threat of
the teacher who might drop in to see if the children are
causing a problem) .....
