[quote=Anonymous]Last year, I could have used several sharpened pencils per kid. Some don't bring them, and many are lost. I had students keep a few of their own and I kept a bunch in storage and I wound up going through all of them. Plus I spent a crapload of time in the afternoons sharpening them. And it was sooooo frustrating when the same kid was like, "I don't have a pencil" for the thousandth time and I had already given out all the ones I had recently sharpened. This issue went deeper than pencils, as in, the students should have been taught to be responsible for their own pencils in earlier grades, but this group was particularly immature, so I'm not sure what earlier interventions may have been useful. This was the first time I had experienced the problem to that magnitude, but it always seems to be an issue. Every year is different for teachers, but pencils are constantly in demand.[/quote]
