I am beginning to feel as if part of my job is to provide my students with classroom materials at all times. What suggestions or methods can I use to eliminate the issue of not having classroom materials? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) One suggestion I would give would be to sharpen 30 pencils every two weeks or every month for the kids to "borrow" and then make it be their responsibility to return them or bring their own to class. I tell my students at the beginning of the year that I do not deal with pencil issues. If they do not have one and I am out, they are then responsible for asking a classmate if they can borrow one. I think the main thing is making them responsible for their own materials. I hope this helps!                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Making students responsible is key!
