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!) I like the idea of having a log that students must sign when they borrow a pencil. When they return it, they sign again. If you have pencils with different labels (for example, you could right a number and letter combo on them in permanent marker), then you can check who took which pencil and if they returned it.                 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 like different labels. This is a visual solution for ELLs as well Rated On: October 14, 2022 8:33 pm Rated By: TyNede
