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!) A possible solution would be to utilize a swap technique. Students are allowed to borrow a pencil, however, they must give you something of theirs in return. Students can get their personal items back when the pencil is returned. This does require a management system to remember who gave you what but students are more likely to return the pencil if they gave you a cell phone or a shoe to swap.                 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: It could even be a sign up sheet if you forget who gave you what Rated On: October 14, 2022 8:32 pm Rated By: TyNede
