Bigot, bigot, bigot.

Weirdo weirdo weirdo (Not you Mr classroom

So fucking sad, just because you never had a teacher like him does not mean he's a pervert lmfao

Just keep in contact til their of age. I like the idea but you could just mail it to them

@@CookInTheClassroom why not mail it? I love the idea tho

Ye ikr

It's just middle school, man. Kids are gonna forget and lose their pencils constantly. If you don't have them on hand, the kids that don't have them won't do their work, which is an infinitely worse problem to have. Of course, you need the sign out sheet because they will forget and lose your pencils too. As a first year middle school teacher, it took me a while to get my system down, and I went through over 300 pencils in the meantime. That's just how it goes.

(i’m in middle school) my teachers have each given out 100s of pencils. sometimes the same kid, day after day, will ask for a pencil and lose it over and over. the school doesn’t provide them any, so it’s all their own money.

Pretty sure that's the same everywhere, these aren't pencils provided by the school they are just donations and what the teacher decided to buy with their own money.

“Why are you teaching my kid life skills? That’s not your damn job. That’s MY job, and I’ll THANK YOU to not be pushing your personal beliefs onto my child.” “Why doesn’t my kid have access to pencils in your class? How do you expect them to do the work you are asking them to do if you aren’t going to give them materials?” “Yeah, with all due respect, my kid doesn’t need to take accountability lessons from a middle school teacher. If you knew a thing about that, you wouldn’t be teaching, would you? You’d be doing the thing you taught.” Also, replace the teacher with who, exactly? Half of all teachers never see their 6th year of teaching. We’ve been in a teaching shortage for years and Covid made that way worse when all of the old teachers retired or died. I was the ONLY person that interviewed for my job.

I am a middle school teacher who has tried both strategies. The problem with not providing them is that kids who lose their pencils can't do their work in class. When they can't work, they start doing other stuff, goofing around and distracting their peers. When you give them a pencil, you take away their excuse to do nothing. Of course, you can play the long game, letting them mess around until their grades drop or they do something so distracting you have to send them out, but it's super troublesome in the meantime. Teaching, especially in middle school (and especially when you have too many students and not enough resources, like many of us), is all about picking battles, and for a lot of us, providing pencils is worth the trouble it avoids.

They break the pencils for fun. That’s really what it comes down to.

@@Valadit Then they can break their own pencils and if they don't have any to break they don't get to complete their work.

@@EveleaSolgosugh, that's annoying. I hate that for you... I wish you guys had the support to really hold kids accountable. It's not the fault of the teachers but small things like showing up prepared are really causing the lapse in society. Expecting everyone to cater or provide for you isn't realistic. Thanks for your answer! Good luck!

@@Otterice Thank you! I really appreciate that. We're all trying out best :)

As a middle school teacher myself, I can tell you it's 50/50. Sometimes, the kid will like you enough to turn it back in just as they took it OR they know how to school enough to not destroy things randomly. The other times, it's kids who just don't care: about you, what we're doing in class, their grades, etc.

@@13LavenderRose That makes sense. So why do you have to buy any pencils? The responsible kids can take care of their own pencils that their parents buy them and the other kids aren't going to buy pencils cause they don't care anyway. I don't understand why the teachers are buying the pencils. It's just a courtesy to the kids. If you can't responsibility borrow something, then you lose the privilege.

@@amyw7200Because the parents of the kids that don’t care get angry with you if you don’t do everything possible to get their grades up, and that absolutely includes not having materials in the classroom. Much easier to drop $20 every so often then to have to explain to someone’s dad that a lack of pencils is not the reason their kid isn’t turning in work.

@@Valadit Ach. Got it. 🙄 Anyway to avoid taking or teaching responsibility to their own kids.

@@amyw7200 Yep, agreed. The kids that don't bring pencils are the kids who won't care about their grades until the day they go home, and will continue to mess around every other day. The added issue is that kids who lose their pencils can't do their work in class. When they can't work, they start doing other stuff, goofing around and distracting their peers. When you give them a pencil, you at least take away their excuse to do nothing. Teaching, especially in middle school (and especially when you have too many students and not enough resources, like many of us), is all about picking battles, and for a lot of us, providing pencils is worth the trouble it avoids.

typos happen and captions can’t be edited after the fact. who cares.

I know, I thought it was funny to point out though

I'm just genuinely curious, what would the fallout be if you started the year with setting the expectation that kids show up prepared with their own pencils? If they don't and a friend won't lend them one they have the natural consequence of getting a zero or having extra homework. I'm not sure when providing pencils became the teachers responsibility but it shouldn't be.

That would make me feel awful for the kids who's families cant afford these supplies who would be responsible and take care of the things they've borrowed from other people :/ we never know what situation a person could be in and what state their family is in financially. Pencils themselves are cheap sure but the supplies and school stuff all add up and alot of kids end up without things they need while being too embarrassed to tell anyone why or ask for help. These careless and disrespectful kids are ruining things for kids who genuinely need and appreciate the help​@@Otterice

I agree…but realistically that does not happen in a classroom…if you give zeros for them not completing their assignment then parents gets mad

@@avasbeaniebooworlds4853 maybe parents need to learn natural consequences as well. Haha

maybe they need better examples, thank you for your service.
