[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 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. 
I’m embarrassed by this thread and it makes me feel even more for the teachers. [/quote]

I’m happy to chip in the $2 that a 24-pack of paper towels and a 2 bottles of Clorox coat with all the other parents. That can last a year. Kids can bring own tissues. This really is not that complicated. It’s a kind of litmus test to find the parents who are most Type A and anxious about doing everything right. [/quote]

What to do with the kid who forgets their tissues?

TP or their sleeve. It’s OK. [/quote]
