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!) I agree with some of the other posts that community supplies are the best way to handle this problem. Most teachers now have supply lists at the beginning of the year for all students to contribute to the classroom supplies. In this way, those that may not be able to afford supplies will have what they need. It is easy to judge children for not having supplies, but if the parents don't have access to them, or don't ensure that their child has what they need, then the student should not suffer for it.                 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: Good idea.
