Case: Students do not bring pencils and forget to return when I loan them.
Our school policy (and district+state) requires that when students do not bring pencils, teachers are required to supply. In fact, in our state it's against the law NOT to supply a pencil in class if a pencil is needed to do the work. I am fine with this rule. However, I have couple of students who forget to bring pencils frequently and ask for a new one each time. They seem to lose them all the time. Do you have this problem? How do you deal with it? Any thoughts?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This is a rough topic. In our state, teachers do not get supplies at the beginning of the school year like they used to. Teachers must supply their own materials and any thing else they need for their classrooms. They pay for everything out of their own pockets. Why is it fair for the teacher to take money out Of their pocket for a student, when the parents won't do it for their own child?! In my experiences, if I was to lend out a writing utensil of any sort to my student, I would ask for collateral. Many times I would suggest they give me a shoe or for older grades their cell phone. I would pick things they won't leave class without. This way I was guaranteed to always get my pens and pencils back! |

| Comments: I believe it is perfectly ok for the teacher to help supply. I believe now they reimburse the teachers for what they spend up to a certain amount. |

| Comments: This solution does not seem respectful to the individual. It could embarrass the student if they did not have clean socks to wear or has bad foot odor, which would also be unpleasant for the other students and it is not the students fault if their parent cannot or will not keep them supplied. Also, cell phones are not a "fair trade" for pencils and this could make a parent angry, especially if the student forgot to pick up their phone from the teacher. |
