This is what I'm saying! I had that powder crap all the way thru high school. I can see a parent buying a Purell bottle for personal use... but I'm not understanding the soap thing. Does the child bring the soap for himself alone or does it all get stashed in a community cabinet that people just take from when they need it. (If the latter, that really sucks! Kids waste soap!)
And it only gets worse as they get older. I remember entering the graphic design program as a college freshman and my advisor giving me a VERY specific list of supplies I would probably need. This didn't include all the supplies I would need for pre-req art classes, the trips to Kinkos, paper, photo supplies, ink, and random bits of research needed to make your design projects look spiffy. Not saying that everyone's kids are going into specialized majors like design, BUT even in high school (it was private) I was asked for very specific composition book colors and scientific calculators, and we had to buy our books, PE clothes, and locks.
I just remember in elementary school, everyone had that Sanrio stuff and went out and collected multiple pencils with fancy pencil cases that shot out projectiles that held erasers and paper clips. Ah memories.
