[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you to all the teachers out there dealing with these crazy penny-wise pound-foolish parents. They worry more about buying too many pencils and Clorox wipes than making it easier for their children’s teachers to do their jobs. Some like to complain that teachers are not doing enough to educate their kids and the quality of education in FCPS is declining. Yet, they want teachers to monitor dropped pencils and force kids to pick them up so parents can save $5.50 a year on ‘excessive’ pencils.

This! +1000 
And if most families spent an extra $10/year [b]to contribute to tissues and wipes, the underpaid teacher doesn’t have to spend hundreds of their own $ on enough for the whole class for the whole school year[/b]. 
I’m embarrassed by this thread and it makes me feel even more for the teachers. [/quote]

This may be true about tissues. But wipes is a false choice— it’s not between the teacher buying them and the parents. It’s between the teachers buying it and the school. I really doubt most Fairfax administrators would say that there are no cleaning supplies available to teachers.[/quote]
