Other kids have to use them.
Comment on How do I keep a 9 year old from constantly licking erasers and putting them in his mouth

Why do you want that? Is there some inobvious harm in chewing erasers? Or money is the main problem. Let him chew his own erasers then.

Communal erasers? Are they extremely expensive in some countries?

If this is in the U.S., teachers typically have to buy their own supplies on meager salaries. Watching one kid literally eat those supplies must be pretty demoralizing.

He’s not chewing them. He’s putting them in his mouth whole. I don’t think he’ll choke, but other people want to use the eraser too. Yes I paid for them myself, as someone else guessed in the other answers.

Understood. This was the inobvious nuance to me. In my culture we expect pupils to have their own writing tools, paper, etc.
