[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From what I gather from this thread, some parents do not want to send supplies to school because:

1. [b]I don’t want to share my money with others. [/b]
2. Teachers should supply the materials
3.  Teachers should put up with whatever quality supplies the school can give them. If they run out, too bad. 
4. Teachers should do a better job of keeping track of pencils, instead of preparing and delivering quality lessons.

IMO the only reason parents shouldn’t send supplies is if they cannot afford them. [/quote]

Well isn’t that why teachers don’t want to buy the material for their classroom? They have other things they need to do with their money?

Believe it or not, that is also true of parents. Who have already “shared” the money for the supplies in question by paying our local taxes. So if the decision is: do I want to share more money with a classroom who already has cleaning supplies (but perhaps the teacher had to proactively ask for the supplies, or they aren’t the preferred brand) and sharing my money with my family, or any of the other people in our community who desperately need help right now and don’t have the privilege of saying they don’t want to have to wait two days for paper towels.
