  Case: Pencils!
My students are constantly sharpening pencils in the classroom. I started them off the school year with individual pencils and bag, but this method doesn't seem to work. They get up during every block of the day. What do you suggest I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Having two cups for pencils usually works well, from my experiences. One cup is filled to the brim with sharpened pencils. I give one student this job after school. The other cup is for broken pencils that need to be sharpened. If these cups are filled/emptied daily, the pencils don't normally leave the room and the interruptions are minimal. Additionally, if the students are purposefully breaking the pencils and empty the full sharpened pencils in one day, they get to use small golf pencils as a sort of punishment.
