Hmm, reminds me of the desks I had while studying in middle school in Russia. Covered in writing and little drawings from one edge to the other in "older" classrooms.

Don't really see it that much in the schools in US and Canada though.

I can't speak for all US schools, but mine growing up, defacing school property was a serious offense. Automatic suspension plus you had to pay for any repairs/replacements. Not many students were willing to take that risk.

Well, you certainly had an easier time with putting your notebook down and simply writing then. No grooves in the wood on which the pen gets caught up and goes all over the page.
