  Case: Paper
Many of my students do not bring paper to class with them each day. I have a container of extra paper that I provide if students run out and need extra. Lately, I have noticed that the same students are constantly getting paper out of the bin. I have refilled the bin many times this year. How do I get these students to bring in their own supplies so that I am not constantly providing them?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
One solution that I have found is to require them to give up their cell phone if they have to get paper out of your bin. When I require this, it is amazing to see how students magically have paper all of a sudden.

Comments: While it may be a helpful solution, I don't think that asking for collateral is appropriate for the school setting

Comments: I do not think that requiring students to leave their cell phones is appropriate for the classroom, especially if they are just taking paper. I know that purchasing supplies often falls on the teacher and it is the students responsibility but I just think that it isn't really appropriate.

Comments: This is a great solution. Students often times do not want to use their own materials or forget them at home. But by making them give up something in return it makes them responsible.
