This is school. Students should be thinking that and bringing pencils.
Starting in third grade, students are to bring a pencil to media EVERY TIME.
I also do not provide paper-if they want they can bring a notebook,
whatever.
It took a while to train them, but most do it now. I got tired of finding
my broken pencils on the floor and pieces of papers in balls around the
room.
I actually have consequences for NOT bringing your pencil.
This is school after all......
And............this is my opinion

Does anyone have a good way of keeping pencils by the OPAC? Ours get stolen
constantly - we can easily go through a dozen in a day. I've tried tying
them down, I've tried taping a flag on them that says "This is not my
pencil." I really don't like to make them come and ask me for a pencil every
time, but that's what it's coming down to.
