I agree with you on sharing the school supplies. I Also have mixed feelings about it. Any supplies I buy for my child should be used for my child. Sadly my daughters school supply list consists of teacher supplies and absolutely nothing that my child will actually use for herself.
When a teacher asks u to buy more supplies for the class it just means ur buying other things for ur class mates. Bc they just didn’t buy it themselves. Btw don’t let ppl borrow ur pencils trust me ur gonna need them for yourself
I agree with you on the mixed feelings. Not only does it add up but it gets time consuming. It was about 15 years ago I had to get my son 2 RED ERASABLE PAPERMATE pens - quite specific and I had to search the globe to find them. No Amazon back then LOL
I personally like having my own school supplies instead of sharing them as a class but also I don’t mind sharing with other like if someone needs a pencil I’ll give them one.
Jhopeismyhopeee e I used to let ppl borrow my pencils but when I ask for them back they make up excuses and say someone stole it or they broke it so I don’t let anyone borrow my supplies unless it’s my bff bc she always gives it back
My stepbrother had to do that school supply thing and I thought it was so stupid because we had to go back to the store to get more new supplies instead of using what we already had
Parents should just buy for their own kids. Most homes have more than one or two kids in the home. If teachers need extra they should have a separate list off to the side on the kids list but not mandatory to get.
I think that it’s annoying I get that some kids may not be able to get supplies but when your spending almost 200 dollars on school supplies and half of them are going to the class it’s like wasting money and plus for example when they tell you to buy like 48 pencils per child and there is like 28 students why do they need 1,000 pencils
Kaylee Goff--Some districts allot a mere $200-$300 PER YEAR (for contract size classes of 20-34 students, depending on the program governing class size and the contract) for classroom supplies which must be purchased through stores such as Office Depot where the district has a contract. Furthermore, the district in which I taught had an unwritten--but enforced, nonetheless--policy that TEACHERS will supply their inner city ghetto/barrio students with everything they needed in the classroom. Parents are TOLD by the district administrators they they are NOT expected to purchase anything for their children; it will be supplied to them. When I taught, it cost me a approximately $800 to set up a room environment of wall coverings, posters, alphabet charts, charts to augment the curriculum, etc.. (Some principals also insisted upon table lamps, pillows, whatever their pet project was and, in those years, it was even more.) Added to that was the cost of the set-up room supplies of scissors, pencils, erasers, glue, markers, etc. Set up supplies were frequently stolen when rooms would be broken into over school recesses for weekends and holidays, which meant spending even MORE money replacing items, plus every month I'd spend between $100 and $300 updating the room and purchasing consumables such as paper, printer ink (I had to purchase my own printer; none was provided for me), glue, erasers, pencils, pens, computer printer paper, etc., etc., etc. Then, on top of that, there was the expense for science experiments (no supplies there, either) and hands-on nath activities, centers, book-making projects, etc. I rejoiced the day I retired. My cash flow improved a great deal when I wasn't paying for entire classes of kids whose parents didn't spend one penny on school.
My sister is a first grade teacher in a public elementary school. The teachers in her school buy all the school supplies for their students. So everyone has the same things, and no one feels bad. Everyone is equal.
Donna Kilewald--Ask yourself why your sister is using HER SALARY to fund a public school classroom--and then demand an independent accounting of the money that flows into the district from local, state, and federal taxes. Look at the six figure plus benefits salaries of the administrators and ask WHY their salaries are NOT the same scale as teachers--many of whom ALSO hold doctoral degrees and are paid about half of what administrators are paid and also have to fight to keep benefits from being eroded away in contract negotiations. Don't let administrators argue that they have a heavier burden and higher accountability than teachers do. That's NONSENSE. Who has a heavier burden or a higher accountability than the people responsible for educating the young minds in their classrooms????

I spent lot school supplies. Last month and I think it's crazy how school supplies has gotten
Here schools can't ask for brands, but colors and quantity they can.

Can you do a giveaway
WOW that stuff really cheap i usually buy expensive stuff and the cheap things are prettier
I do think some times student's should use their own supplies at school because they will need to use for their
homework at home.
