When I arrived at my current school I was given the task of being in charge of the best pencil sharpener the school had. Mind you, our school has 40 classrooms and over 500 students yearly. The sharpener was an an X-ACTO pencil sharpener that finally gave up this past year. This old sharpener was used by both staff and students. It was so good it lasted for 5+ years. All other electric sharpeners teachers have bought and used in their own classrooms have not been able to last a single school year. We were lucky that we had pre-sharpened so many pencils that we were able to make it through the school year. Sharp pencils help make for sharper minds in getting students ready to learn. Teachers want students come into their classrooms prepared for learning and having a great pencil sharpener helps tremendously! I help out both students and teachers by having ready pencils and an available pencil sharpener eliminates wasted classroom time.
