[quote=Anonymous]Hey teachers! I just did my back to school shopping and I’d love to hear your perspective. I feel like I only ever hear parents complaining about school shopping. I don’t mind purchasing supplies for the classroom at all, but I can’t tell if something is a shared supply or individual.

-do you hate it if parents label supplies? I never know what to label and what not to label. Like a ruler or a composition book. I’m definitely not labeling crayons or anything weird like that.

-what do you do when you have too much of something?

- how do you come up with these lists? One year it’s a school box wanted and next it’s a vinyl zippered bag. Do you actually care or is that just what the list says? (I know the list is for 4-6 classes per grade, not just your class)

- and then of course there’s the super hard to find item every year. This year it’s a 16ct crayon. The thing I’ve never ever found is an 8ct multi cultural crayon. It must be like the holy grail because Walmart/target/amazon only carry 24ct. I’ve seen them on eBay but marked up to 20x their original price.  I also needed 8, 8cts of crayons last year. Where do they go? Lol

-does it bug you if you say “black composition” but the kid comes with a pink one?

Love you all! Keep sharing your Amazon wishlist needs because I love to fill them, especially middle of the year. [/quote]
