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 interned with a teacher who had bins and bins of pencils starting at the beginning of the school year and within a month she was down to the last handful of pencils. She told me that to combat this problem, she started to only keep a certain amount of pencils in the bin at a time. She also informed her students that she was keeping count of all of the pencils in the bin. She made a deal with them that, if they could not remember to bring their own pencils, they could borrow hers but they must return them to the bin at the end of the day. However, if when she counted the pencils in the bin at the end of the week, Friday, students would not be allowed to visit her treasure box before leaving for the day. All of her students loved going to the treasure box and after the first few weeks of the pencils coming up short, and the students being cut off from being allowed treasure box, they started being more responsible with returning the pencils and many students started bringing in their own pencils to avoid the need for borrowing. Before she knew it her pencils were being returned and it was very rare that she counted the pencils and they came up short. |
