[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone think 72 pencils per child is excessive?  Can anyone help me rationalize this?  [/quote]
Yes, along with out 24 glue sticks.[/quote]

Our school requires 25 LARGE glue sticks for first grade.  Really?  You want me to spend 25 bucks on glue sticks?  They also want us to buy 3 reams of computer paper.  So we're up to $40 now without buying any crayons, markers, pencils, scissors, folders, notebooks, tissues, etc.  It's nuts.[/quote]

I send about 5 glue sticks - whatever size is a good sale and no computer paper.  Public education is free.  I draw the line at what is reasonable (pencils, 24 crayons, scissors, reasonable amount of glue)  Baby wipes, ziploc bags, special black Flair markers, copy machine/computer paper - NO!  If your school is asking for a ton of supplies, they are spending their building budget on other things that does not go directly towards classroom experiences and that is not the intention of the building budget.
