If it only costs a few dollars, it shouldn't be a problem for the teacher to buy it.[/quote]

I used to work for the county.  Getting supplies depending on the agency and supervisor was a joke.   I bought all my own supplies from pens to paper to staples.  Sorry no empathy.  I will supply what my kids need but not teachers.  The county wastes so much money on nothing.  Perhaps we should look at the wasteful spending so employees can be supplied with basics. The irony is the admin in their fancy offices get supplies but the teachers do not.  We are on a budget.  Those pennies add up.   To the teacher with the dirt comment.  My kid would love that. You could probably teach him better as he have far more fun with a stick and dirt than a fancy board or ipad.  [/quote]

But these are supplies for your child to use, to save your child time.  When you worked for the county did you routinely pay for supplies for other people to use.[/quote]

Technically, yes.  Co-workers and others routinely took them from my desk.  I was very careful with them so I knew they were going in my desk and taking them.  I am not ok with buying in a community pot.  If it is for my child, fine.  But, for all kids, the county should supply them.[/quote]
