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!) Positive reinforcement and/or using a reward system for the students who are coming to class prepared may be enough to get most students to change their tendencies, but it is important that students still have access to "community supplies" (as another post mentioned). Some of these students may not have a home or enough food to eat, bringing a pencil to school is the least of their worries.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: This would make the student feel horrible if there was a financial hardship.
