[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a librarian in a high FARMs school and I had several students stop by on our las5 day to tell me thank you for the books or that they love our library class. Best gift ever.

Second best is Amazon cards to I can buy more books. I don’t have to supplement my budget by buying books out of pocket, but I do.[/quote]

So stop buying books for the school library.  Seriously.  Your budget will never raise if there are all these extra unaccounted for expenses you are taking on personally. You don’t have to.  Kids in other countries do better than kids in US academically with much less by way of these “supplies” teachers feel compelled to buy and then complain about. [/quote]

Why should districts provide more funding for materials if their employees are willing to foot the bill?

Districts won't fund anything.  If teachers stop funding their classrooms, there'll just be nothing.  It's not like it we all stop buying things they'll step up.  Have you ever known a school district to step up?  For anything?  Ever?[/quote]

PP here. Can you think of a district that has had to step up because the employees all stopped buying things?

As I mentioned we both teach ES grades. We don’t spend any money on our classrooms. Well, my PTA will reimburse about $75 so I find enough to buy to receive that reimbursement Honestly the district and school provides quite a bit. We aren’t even close to having nothing. [/quote]

You are very fortunate that your district and school provides so much.[/quote]
