@MotherDucker I've seen enough students, even high schoolers, destroy enough glue sticks that I was willing to let that one slide.
But fifty pencils PER STUDENT? That's just poor classroom management.
If your goal is to ensure overage for kids who don't have supplies, this is not the best way to address that.
@danialexis considering half their work is done on an iPad or Chromebook, 50 pencils is literally insane. Even 25 per student is bonkers.
@danialexis so this is something that’s ground my gears since the start of the year. Everyone was to send in 4 two-pocket poly plastic folders. Unlabeled with child’s name. I sent in 8 just because my mom was a teacher, so… respect. But my child has had the same green PAPER “go home” folder since August. It’s torn all to pieces. I have reinforced it with packing tape numerous times just to keep it together. It’s never once been replaced.
