[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, OP, enforce consequences. No stravaiging around the classroom chatting and borrowing stuff off each other. Organize a pop quiz at the beginning of class. No pencils? Too bad - 0. One round of that and they will remember. Of course, you'll have apoplectic parents to deal with as well :-) [/quote] Not the op, but I am a teacher. Although this seems llike a great idea, as it is a logical consequence, this would never fly in a public school. We, the teachers, are not allowed to give grades like that. Grades are supposed to reflect student knowledge, regardless of effort, or behavior, or organization. The professor from college makes a good point, but again, if I took that advice, I would be the one in trouble with the administration for not doing everything in my power to ensure that students in my class succeed (Even though it may mean enabling them now resulting in less success in the long-term).[/quote]
