Question

How would you expect students at a public school to treat their books and other school property? How would that differ at a school in which students purchase their own books and materials for school?

Answer 1

At a public school, students should treat their books and other school property with respect and care. This means not writing in them, not damaging them, and returning them in the same condition as when they were received. At a school in which students purchase their own books and materials, students should still treat them with respect and care, but they may be more likely to take ownership of their materials and be more careful with them.
