It's required at my school. I would go ahead and get them just to be safe. You can get them at the dollar store, I believe.

Heh, I never really understood the purpose of book covers. I mean, if you spill something on it, it's going to soak right through anyway.

We used to use text book covers in elementary I believe, but we stopped in middle school because it was just too much of a hassle.

I use them. I'm not ashamed to admit it. I'd rather have a spongebob book cover than a messed up, broken down, old textbook by the end of the year.

some teachers require them, but most don't.
and the courses where you have to have a cover, it provides a good place to scribble and doodle when you're bored. |

I only used book covers for 6th grade. They made us bring the book back so they can see it was covered and we got a grade for that. I used the stretchy cloth one. But now we dont need to cuz i go to a different school other then the school i went to for 6th grade.

yeah it used to be a really strict requirement in j.h.s i dont remembr about elementary school.. but i dont think anyone cares in H.s. b/c teachers trust u enough to handle the books w/ care..however some ppl still do it out of habit
my mom always used plastic wrap to wrap the books when i was little.. but now my school gives out book covers..not many ppl use it tho |

Again Rebecca, I don't really think your first grade son will need bookcovers!

QUOTE(Zatanna @ Apr 27 2006, 10:34 AM)  Ok, so my son will be in the first grade this September and I'm wondering - do you guys/gals still use book covers on your text books?  I know... cheesy cheesy... but I remember using old paper shopping bags as book covers when I was in school (you know, back when the earth was still cooling  ).So help an out of touch mother out - what do you use, if you use anything to cover your text books? PS - I did a search but didn't find anything.  hmm... i don't use them... because i don't really care for them... but there are some that you can buy to put over 'em... they're usually pretty girly, so if it's your SON... idk... they probably make some camoflauge types... but yeah, i would just try lookin' in target or walmart or somethin' like that if you want book covers. |
