[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious and this is mostly to teachers- why does each child need 96 crayons and 120 Ticonderoga pencils? In a class of 20 children that is 1.920 crayons and 2.400 pencils! What do you do with the leftover at the end of the year? [b]Also why do you need paper towels and wipes? Aren’t these janitorial supplies?[/b]

Lists this year are MUCH more reasonable than other years. I purchased most supplies for under $40 each child (K and 4th) the pta box is almost $100 each! But still genuinely curious about these excessive amounts of items. [/quote]

Schools don't supply enough of these for the classrooms.  At our school you get a spray bottle and a couple of packages of crappy paper towels. [b]You need a handful to do anything and refills are limited.[/b][/quote]

Can you say more about this? If you go to the admin of the school and say you’ve used your paper towels and need to clean the desks, they say…?

Because I feel like a parent calling and asking would not be told a teacher wasn’t allowed paper towels. [/quote]

They would say “ask the janitor” and the janitor would say “I’ll drop them off later” and then they arrive 2-7 days later. The thing is, the paper towels are awful. I’m requesting an item that is very subpar. I’d rather ask the parents to bring some in. [/quote]
