[Phys-l] Anti-vandalism in restrooms



Greetings everyone. At my school, we've been having issues with students drawing and carving onto the bathroom walls. I was asked if I knew of any way of deterring or catching those that were doing it. We try monitoring the restrooms the best we can, but they still elude us. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions?

The one idea I had was to paint the walls with those fluorescent paints that are used in teaching about germs (such as "Glo Germ"). I'm not sure if the pen/marker (often Sharpie markers) or sharp objects would pick up the fluorescent compounds. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dwight
