I am a high school teacher; these Velcro coins are indispensable--I don't ever want to be without them.I use these to mount all my posters (they might be a pain to remove from the walls at the end of the year--next time I think I'll follow a tip I saw online and put squares of painter's tape on the wall where the Velcro coins would be and THEN mount the coins on the tape to protect the walls). When it's time for benchmarking or state tests, I can easily take all my posters off the walls and just as easily put them back up again when testing is over.Also, these have revolutionized the way I lend pencils. I get ten pencils and put a Velcro coin on each (near the eraser) and mount them on my door with a sign that says "Borrow a Pencil" (I am at the end of the hall so there isn't much foot traffic; if your room is in a more heavily-trafficked area of the hall, I'd advise you to put the pencils on a wall further in the room but in your line of sight). The kids can borrow a pencil without needing to ask me. It's a pretty self-regulating system--you just need to check that all the pencils have been returned in good condition at the end of class before you release the students. I tried to mount erasers as well (those stubby pink ones the size of a thumb) by hot-gluing a Velcro coin to the back, but the eraser surface is so porous that the erasers tend to separate from the Velcro coins pretty quickly. I have also tried hot-gluing individual eraser caps to the pencils once the erasers are worn out, but that is too much of a time investment. I am planning on getting some retractable erasers and mounting those with the Velcro coins alongside the pencils so that students will not have to ask me to borrow erasers anymore, either.I also use these coins to mount my tardy log clipboard to the wall and tardy log pen to the clipboard, and even use them to mount my laminated, hard-backed restroom pass.These Velcro coins are real life-savers in the classroom. I constantly find new and useful ways to use them. I always make sure to have a box of these around!
