There are not huge numbers of people doing art. Everybody's artwork is returned to the school so that students are afforded the opportunity to look at it. Only a certain percentage look for a re-check. After the re-check it is sent back up to the Department and even if a student does not ask for a recheck it is destroyed somewhere in the Department. I cannot see the worry about it being destroyed in transit as it has been transported up and down already. If a grade A student, who will not look for a re-check, wants their artwork it should stay at the school and be given back.
