[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was posted by a teacher in my local moms group. Why? The fact that our children bring home tons of slightly used pencils/erasers/scissors/folders/etc is testament to the fact that they don't get fully used up during the school year and you don't NEED brand new supplies. What harm is it to you if we send those same items in for the coming school year?[/quote]

Exactly and I agree

and I would have posted "whatever you do, don't request ridiculous amounts of supplies that are really not needed and won't even get used"

Teacher lists need to be way, way trimmed down and they need to only add what a kid really needs.  [/quote]

I'm talking to YOU 4 glue stick, 24 pack of pencils, 6 binders Teacher.  You will see my used pencils, erasures, scissors etc again. It's called being good stewards of the environment ! Recycling.

4 glue sticks? lol my dd's list wants TEN!

I am really annoyed by the requests for supplies that are hard AF to find. Like 8 packs of markers (they come in 10 packs! 10 packs are on sale and the only 8 packs are on amazon for $9), 8 packs of multicultural crayons when they come in 24 packs (at least at Walmart and Target).

I will say that I can't send used supplies back to school. I should have taken a picture of my dd's supplies on the last day of school- 1 inch crayons that were broken and all missing the wrappers, pencils that were broken, not one pencil had an eraser, the supply box was busted and missing the latch, pencil shavings galore, marker caps with no markers. It was like a big box of trash. The only thing reusable was the scissors. [/quote]
