[quote=Anonymous]As a teacher, I want to point out that you would be amazed at how many pencils a class goes through every day. The amount of time kids spend sharpening pencils, and the amount of noise that creates, is incredibly disruptive. The best solution is to have two cans accessible to the class, one with sharp pencils and another with dull pencils, so kids can quietly exchange one for the other. This requires a communal stash of pencils. Sorry to belabor such a minor point, but I wanted the nonteachers out there to understand that there is often a practical reason underlying our requests, not a political one![/quote]
