Query: A pencil sharpener that doesn't sharpen pencils...

I was tired of having my students sharpen with the little handhelp sharpeners, so I spent my own money to buy this for my classroom. What a waste. It half-worked for about 2 months, then it simply stopped sharpening pencils altogether. The motor runs fine, but it seems like I can't push the pencil in far enough to have it sharpen. I have cleaned it many times trying to discover if there's something stuck inside, but no. It's free of obstructions. It just doesn't work.So...we're back to the little handheld sharpeners, except I'm poorer.Teachers, save your money.
