You certainly went to a lot of trouble to stay anonymous. I might be a pollyanna when it comes to the way I'd like to see the world work, but I've never been afraid to put my name to my thoughts. When you're done looking through "all those replies" perhaps you might like to go back and re-read (or read for the first time) my post and you'll find I never said that a camera wouldn't be an effective way to catch the vandals, I just said it was setting up a low trust environment. Enjoy whacking that mole, won't you? Of course, you obviously disagree, and that's ok too. You're entitled to your opinion... it's just a shame you won't put your name to it.

I'm the magical man, from Happy Land, who lives in a gumdrop house on Lolly Pop Lane!!!!...... RE: your naive suggestion of "I think as educators we need to find out why they don’t care, and why they have so little regard for the equipment"- how are you going to identify these students without a camera? What about all the replies to your MITIE post that indicated vandalism drops with surveillance? Doesn't sound like everyone is losing there, hmmm? Ohhh look at me, I’m Chris Betcher!
