[quote=Anonymous]In my son's classroom some of the school supplies provided by parents are pooled (markers in a communal drawer, whiteboard supplies in a bin on each group of tables, etc.) and other items actually belong to the child for whom they were purchased (folders and notebooks, art pencils). The teachers decide which supplies are for individuals and which are group items. There are kids whose families can't afford school supplies (or swimsuits for the swimming unit, etc.) and contingencies are made for them. I don't have a problem supplying consumable items for the classroom. They've got to come from someplace. The kits are optional, but very convenient if you don't care about back to school shopping. Btw, in my child's classroom each kid uses a small whiteboard on a daily basis; it's not like chalkboards in "the old days" where there was one large one on the wall with a few pieces of chalk for the whole class to use. They go through a lot of dry erase markers.[/quote]
