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!) When students leave in the afternoon, collect their pencils that they returned and sharpen them all. During lessons, teach students to hold up a silent hand signal that signifies they need a pencil, and silently provide them with one from the sharpened bunch. This should minimize distractions, and students should ask students near them to borrow a pencil if they do not have one.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I concur.
