[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]120 Ticonderoga pencils? You're exaggerating right? [/quote]

Nope not kidding. 24 pack presharpebed pencils x 5 packs. Last year the teacher only let him have 2 pencils. This communal thing is crazy. We aren’t working hard to spend our money for other people. [/quote]

So don't.  Other people who are grateful and maybe have been helped by others at some point in their life will buy the insane number of pencils, knowing that they are covering for a few other people.

Our school usually asked for one or two boxes per grade year. My inference is that your school district doesn't have a lot of people chipping in for collective supplies.

Also, almost all pencils we purchased for our kids, including the expensive Ticonderogas, are poor quality compared to what I grew up with.  The wood is softer.  They don't stay sharp as well.  My understanding is that teachers ask for pre-sharpened pencils because kids mess around while sharpening and it's harder to get them sharp.[/quote]
