  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!)
I would create a policy for loaning pencils. This policy would require students to write down their name on a sign-out sheet and return the pencil at the end of the day. To prevent abuse of the policy, I would use pencils that are not as appealing to use, such as golf pencils or pencils that I find on the floor.
