[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am sorry you have to deal with irresponsible kids and uncooperative parents. You shouldn't have to deal with that. I can't imagine anyone thinks that the teacher should be buying supplies. But the truth is, I don't think you are doing the kids in favors by providing what they don't bring themselves. I am a college professor and occasionally someone asks if I have extra pens or paper and I say no and they don't ask again. The only way to teach them that it is their responsibility is to make it their responsibility. I get that there is a little more handholding in high school than college but I think you are doing too much. Make the expectations clear. If they don't have a tissue or hand sanitizer, let them suffer the consequences even if it means wiping their nose on their sleeve. If they don't have a pencil call them out on it. I am not a fan of public humiliation and I am never cruel to my students but I think you can't let kids get away with wasting your and their class time.[/quote]
