I can’t take away the eraser or give it to him only when he asks, because I have more students.

He’s impulsive but nice. His parents know he does stuff like that.

Any ideas?

    They sell stuff called Chewelry; it’s a necklace or wristband you can chomp on.

    Maybe get the kid one of those? If not, maybe make one out of a piece of string and eraser?

    This one’s for chewin’, this one’s for undoin’.

      This is something the parents should do - along being in the driver’s seat of correcting this behavior in their 9yo. In times of teachers crowd funding classroom supplies, I don’t think it’s fair to suggest “throw money at it” to a teacher. It’s not going to cost $5 just once and that’s it. If you have to beg for boardmarkers in general, this will be a line item that matters.
