WRONG MARKERS ON WHITE BOARDS!

Working as an Early Years facilitator, I often found myself in a panic when the children would accidentally use permanent markers on a white board. In fact, I’ve done it myself. We also have a problem with graffiti at our school. Often we come in on a Monday and the doors of our school are covered with graffiti. I just received an email from a colleague in a similar predicament. Solution—simply go over the marks made with the permanent marker with a whiteboard marker and this will remove them. A simple, yet very effective trick.
