Words are cheap. I have told the administration many times what you have said above, in vain. As I mentioned, there is no PTA. Some of my parents are undocumented, and most of them do cleaning for a living (the moms). Many of the dads are out of work.

Meanwhile, my kids need crayons and paper! I can't wait for change, and neither can my kids. It makes my job incredibly difficult to do without. We need supplies for me to do my job and my kids to be engaged and learning. If that means $20 a month out of my pocket, so be it.

And to think that most teachers don't spend their own money on materials is naive.[/quote]

OK, spend your money. But don't call yourself a catalyst for change. You're being taken advantage of and you're celebrating it. That is your choice, but it doesn't make you a good teacher or a wise person.

I never called myself a catalyst for change.   I asked the other poster (maybe you?) how she would be a catalyst for change when she said I shouldn't spend my own money.  I'm an advocate for children.  Period.  If that entails spending some of my own money, like I said, so be it. [/quote]
