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!) One of the teachers I intern with in middle school keeps a list on the board. Students write their name and what they borrowed. At the end of class no one is allowed to leave the room until all items are returned. The entire class works together to make sure students return items. None of them want to be late for lunch, which follows this class.                 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: I like the idea of having students help as well !
