  Case: Classroom Materials
I constantly have students who are not prepared for class because they don't have a pencil to write with or paper. 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!)
Depends on the age of the students, but I teach high school so my solution is for high school students only.
One thing you can do is make them give you their cell phone to lend out a pen or whatever. They have to return it to you to get the phone back.
I know this will sound harsh to some people, but they are in high school, your college professor isn't going to lend you a pen when you forget one. We have an issue with students not bringing their books to class. Let them sit there for one day and not be able to complete the work. Sure, you'll feel bad, but the next day they will have their book. It's sounds bad, but it works. If a student has a situation that may prevent them from having supplies, you need to find out. If one student has that situation, give them a pencil. After that, you know they have one and they should bring it every day.
