| That would imply these students share one textbook together. |

Hi,
I can't see the problem with: 'Students should bring their textbook back to the lesson where each student has one textbook. In my book, anyhow! Look at: Those in favour of the motion, please raise their hand. People should always use their handkerchief when they sneeze.
