Online teacher wishlist

[Anonymous]

I posted to independent schools; I apologize. Probably more pertinent here in the general forum. Has anyone seen their school employ an online teacher wishlist platform linked to the school website that was truly effective? By that I mean easy for teachers to upload their desires and for parents to access and complete transactions from, that had no bugs?

By online wishlist platform I mean a site where teachers can list their needs on a rolling basis, or even a site that allows teachers to create links to the place of purchase so parents can complete the transaction online and have items delivered to the school.

there are many such free platforms out there--I am wondering which is effective and which are 'buggy'?

Is that not what tuition and taxpayers dollars pay for... the needs of the teachers in the classroom? Also, kids get really long lists of supplies for the school year, what more do you want families to "provide"?

I am a parent; we wish to provide our beloved teachers with anything that enhances the teaching and learning experience. Tax dollars (I am looking for this list for a public school) do not go a long way towards buying needed materials (I say this as I am also a teacher). If you would like your children to learn only from the core text book that is great. I would like ours to have the excellent supplemental hands-on materials that the general budget does not cover, and that our community can come together with small, individual contributions to cover. Looking for a great online wishlist platform that would be easy for teachers to use and for parents to access.
