Students asking for paper?

Question

Is anoyone else annoyed how so many students in High School don't bring paper to school and ask the same kid over and over for it? Because I am the student that has to give everyone paper. Has anyone else noticed this?

Answer 1

That's easy.  I just tell the kids who do it - "Does Jimmy LOOK like Wal-Mart?  Buy your own paper!  Jimmy is not responsible for bringing your materials."  And then I won't allow anyone to give the student paper.  Just tell them the same - "Do I look like Wal-Mart?  Buy your own!"

Answer 2

It can become annoying, but it usually stops in college.

Answer 3

It was very annoying.  Thank goodness this rarely happens at my new school.

Answer 4

i dotn offer paper they have to get it off someone else not me. just put yr foot down. they know i dotn give out paper!

if they cant get paper off their friend by askign politely- encourages good social skills-  then they will be marked tardy by the time the bell rings.

other people tell them that if they take paper that they need to leave their shoe on the teachers desk-

Answer 5

Yes, they make it seem like we are responsible for them!and once we say no the teachers ask if we can give them some paper its so frustrating!

Answer 6

I know it is frustrating when your classmates are unprepared.  It's frustrating for me as a teacher.  I always step in and offer paper that the district provides, it's not pretty, but it works.  Your teachers really should be helping you out on this one.  

As for the teachers/ students who tell students to "get your own." You really need to re-think this, some students are lucky they get clothed and fed once they leave our building....

Answer 7

I always hated that if they cared they would have paper...

Answer 8

I'm glad students get annoyed by this too!  I'm a MS teacher, and am aggravated at the number of students who don't have paper and pencils for class!  I have a big stack of notebook paper that has been "donated" by students leaving it in my room that I give out, but the pencil thing really bugs me!  Do you not think that you're going to be WRITING things down in school??  Or do you just not THINK?

Well, I feel better, thanks! :)

ps- stop handing out your own paper, those slackers need to start being held accountable for their own materials!

Answer 9

really it rarely happens to me or if they do ask it is because they really did run out

Answer 10

I hate that!!!! I have decided to no longer give paper to people, because one day, Every one asked me for paper and by the end of the day I had used you page and my supply was empty....... argg!!!

Answer 11

Yeah I'd like to say I hate but but once ive loaned and used all of mine I turn into that person cause it takes me forever to remember to buy more!
