Has any parent (teaching or non) had an experience where one teacher requires more "stuff" than others in the same grade level?
Does this whole supply issue depend on the wealth of the district? 'Cause I know my niece and nephew don't have to bring all the stuff in that's listed. But, my parents and my sister pay for that stuff through their property taxes--which are among the highest in the state.
I don't mind the giving of extra things--if it's true that it's involuntary and it's not open that this is what it's for, then THAT'S a problem of the teacher/school/district not communicating with the parents/guardians. If you tell me what it is, I'll be more than happy to give.
Do any schools require a set of supplies for home, and a set for school? I know that's pretty popular in my hometown so kids won't lose stuff in transit or leave important supplies at home or school.
