  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 have a log sheet for everything borrowed in my class and be sure to make my utensils very obvious they belong to me. For example, put a big flower on the end or tape them up and put my name on them. They still work effectively and wont cause a distraction but everytime they are used or being put away the students will be reminded the pencil belongs to me.
