Do you often see silly words or drawings scratched onto the desks in your classroom? Have you ever found chewing gum on the floor of your classroom or around the campus? How many times have you seen broken windows in the classroom and school buildings? This is vandalism, the destruction or damaging of public property (财产)for no obvious reason.
Vandalism in schools is becoming a growing problem, and it is costing us more than money. It is expensive to repair the desks, clear them of chewing gum and repair school furniture. Moreover, it costs us our sense of self?respect and feeling of pride in our school. Many students see this damage and lose some pride in their school.
How, then, can we prevent vandalism in schools? First of all, we need to make students realize the importance of taking care of public property. School property should be treated with care so that it can be used by all the students. Therefore, damaging school property means damaging the enjoyment of other students. If we can explain this to people, then they will be less likely to damage school property when they know that it will only hurt themselves.
Secondly, we should learn to obey school rules and regulations. These rules and regulations are there to do good to both the students and the schools. Whenever we see any act of vandalism, we need to remind the people of the rules and try to prevent these acts from happening. If it is serious vandalism, we need to report it to the teacher.
Thirdly, anyone who vandalizes (有意破坏) school property should receive some kind of punishment. For example, if someone has torn a page from a library book, he or she would have to carefully tape (用胶带粘)the page back into the book. If someone writes or draws on a desk, he or she should stay behind after school and clean the desks in the classroom. Such punishment is not harsh (严厉的), but can make them know their misbehavior.
Vandalism costs schools money that could be better spent educating students, and it harms students' pride in their school as well. If we educate people about vandalism and work to prevent it from happening, then we will begin to see cleaner schools and happier students.
