I don't mean to go back and forth but when I think about that happening here I think of the young poor kids (which is the majority of kids here) who can barely afford new clothes for school having to buy some person their own supplies when that person makes about 40 to 45k a year and the kids parents COMBINED barely make 35k a year.
****, up untill highschool all my parentscould afford me were two pairs of pants and four shirts to alternate throughout the WHOLE YEAR. Could you imagine what it woulda been like if they also had to buy teahers' supplies for 4 kids?
Kyp said:I see both points but it really should be the schools job to provide the supplies for the teachers or give them a smaller yearly budget for the teachers to order supplies based on their class needs.
Very true.Eison said:Exactly.
In a lot of areas they are trying to get together like a small shopping budget per teacher so that they can get items like these out of the school budget and not have to worry about getting them from parents. I still think that is too much focus on the teachers, the school should have the items for them to get out of stock as needed.
The problem is so many schools and school districts are often very poorly run and all the money is at the top of the food chain. You have school district superintendents making 6 figures with car and clothing allowances, the football team getting new uniforms every year and yet parents are having to buy cleaning supplies for their kids classrooms. That's where you call bullshit.
