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 think one way to solve this problem is to give a student a job as supply manager. This job would rotate on a weekly basis. If a student needs a pencil, they would go to the student supply manager for the pencil. The supplies would be set in the same place each day for access for the supply manager's use only. This person will keep track who received pencils or other supplies and then collect them when the class period is over. |

Comments: I also like this solution. I didn't take it as the teacher having the responsibility, it was the "class manager's" responsibility to make sure they are returned. |

Comments: I don't like this for one reason, if the student fails then you are breaking the law as the teacher, given that you are not in control of the pencil situation. If you give a student this job based on good grade performance, chances are they are more responsible in general, thus leaving the teacher a better situation with a responsibility to comply with the law. |
