I kept only the interesting text books - history and science. Never read them again though _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

All my text books had to be handed in at the school for the next generation of thickos. We weren't allowed to keep them. _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

It all came down to you or the teacher remembering that they had to go back. We were usually as bad as each other in that sense  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

We weren't issued with our results unless all of our teachers had signed a slip saying all text books had been returned.

In our school, we got all our textbooks in the first lesson of each subect for that year. A register was kept for who was given one and who was absent and hence needed one (either provided there and then or in the next lesson).
At the end of the school year, in the last lesson of each subject, we had to return our textbooks. Again a register was kept. Anybody who had not returned the textbook until the end of school (the last day was always a half-day, always "fun" and commenced with a longer-than-normal assembly) would have to pay for the cost of the book.

Yes, sorry, that's what we did except for during final years of GCSE and A Levels, when there was a book-returns day after the final exam and before Results, by which time you had to have returned the book or paid for it.

I can't remember exactly how the text books were kept track of, but we certainly had to hand them all back in. I think some of them may have been antiques  We kept our exercise books though. _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly."
