Paper Dispenser in School Desk

 Make it easier on everyone.

In school, about five times a day a person complains about not having any paper and having to borrow it. A paper dispenser in the desk would be a good solution. The slot should be directly below the pencil holder. Math room desks could have two slots: one for notebook paper and the other for graph paper. There should be an easy, slide in, slide out, one-step cartridge design to make refilling the paper fast and easy. I don't think cost would be much of a problem. Notebook paper is getting ever cheaper (48 cents for a pack of 150 at Wal-Mart). Wholesale should be even cheaper.

       Or even make it a roll of paper that you can rip off, like paper towel.   

       Good for short and sweet sketching when you want to scan it into a computer for our paperless society we are supposed to build.

       Letting children have supplies just won't work. I'd like to think I'm a civil 13-year old, but I'd still take a sheet or two to sketch on if math class failed to keep my interest.

       But that's ok. They think you are taking notes that way.

       Or offer pads of paper on account for a dollar. Teacher keeps the change.

       I don't mean to sound blunt, but this isn't an idea for rolling papers?

       Well, I guess, if you wanted [tw].

       should the paper roll from the top or the bottom.

       Well really I think it should be a sheet dispenser, because that way it could have lines and holes punched like regular notebook paper.

       It would be a bit annoying to get the last couple of layers ofthe roll though, cos your paper would keep curling up as you write on it.

       Why go to this extreme when you could just beat the children if they forget to bring enough paper? After his first beating, Jimmy will never forget to bring adequate paper supplies to class again. Problem solved.

       But asking for paper is a valuable waste of lesson time...

       so a paper "binder" then. Better include a pencil dispenser, or "pouch" too.
