Among middle school students, the saying goes that if you're careless and get caught by the teacher reading comics at school, it's better to have the comic book torn up than confiscated, because otherwise the teacher will take it home and read it, and you wouldn't want her making a profit from your loss.
國中生圈中，流行著一種說法：在學校看漫畫，不小心被老師發現，寧可被撕毀，也不要被沒收；因為老師會把沒收的漫畫，帶回家裡看。這一來，豈不便宜了老師？有「不良書刊」等刻板印象的漫畫，在校園與家庭之間，一直是製造衝突與歡樂的來源。
