Drawing On Desks

At school, many students have the urge to write on the school desks and graffiti such things as their name, a question so that other students may answer it in another lesson, or some students even go to great lengths to scracth stuff into the desk with a drawing pin or scissors.
On one occasion a certain boy happened to scratch into the desk, "poo in a can" with a circle around it so it looked like a can.
Everyone thought it was really funny to see this boys artwork on the desk. This boy never thought he'd get caught, but even though teachers don't say anything at the time they are watching everything you do.
This boy was sent up to the headmasters office and was told to pay for the desk, Im not one hundered percent sure how much it costed but it was around $150.
This boy was devastated that he actually got caught and had to pay for a new desk, but that didn't stop anyone from still writing on the desks.
So the writing kept coming, it was like mail sent from someone unknown for you to read during class. Teachers were mortified that people were still writing on the desk, but yet it didn't stop.

Its still continuing to happen, students contine to graffiti on schools property and write offensive things about other students and about which teacher is gay or not or who needs to go to hell...
These things that are written on the desks also distract other people from learning and listening in class, they are more focused on whats on the desk rather than what the teachers are saying. Also if the language is really bad the teachers have a little cleaning fest at the start of the lesson for 15minutes, which wastes learning time that would be useful, especially since its school certificate at the end of the year.
Wouldn't it be great if the desks could clean themsealves, it would save alot of valuable time.
