Should you have contrition towards writing in school-owned books?

<p>I like annotating books, especially textbooks as they leave a wide margin of space on the sides. I would purchase one for my self, but they are too expensive and I don't think I will use them at all in college. Should I just write in it anyways (underlining mostly) and then erase it when school ends? My teacher said, "unfortunately, you can't write in these textbooks." So, when she comes around to check on us, I usually feel guilty showing her my marks so I just flip the page to where I don't have any..</p>

<p>What do you guys think? Should I just not feel guilty and show it to her? What if she asks me something or says something bad? Argh..</p>

<p>Buy a copy on Amazon. If you can’t, I suppose it’s ok to annotate, just make sure to erase the maks later.</p>

<p>Why the hell would you tell her if she blatantly told you not to. Just keep the marks hidden.</p>

4

<p>there is no way the teacher will check at the ens of the year like they say so just hide it</p>

<p>If it helps future book users understand the text, then no one will complain. BE THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE DAMN IT.</p>

<p>I actually find notes/highlighting in books REALLY annoying. It distracts me from the rest of the content. What you see as important may not be important for someone else.</p>

<p>I have known people that insisted on writing in books to use clear sheets and a marker or even a dry-erase marker if it is temporary. A box of clear protective plastic sheet covers/sleeves also works. They’re cheap. Plus, you can pull out your notes and slip them in a folder when you’re done to study or keep forever.</p>

<p>I usually just mark stuff in pencil then erase. </p>

<p>…Whenever I use my books.</p>

<p>We buy all of our books…</p>

<p>but back in a different school, I actually liked the notes because they weren’t really academic; more amusing than anything.</p>
