[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did last year for convenience and because[b] it's a fundraiser for the school. [/b] But then in August the school sent a list of additional items needed that weren't in the pre-ordered box. So I had to run out and buy those anyway. Because of that, I may skip it this year. You're right that the school boxes are more expensive than buying on your own. [/quote] I used to think that but then I asked and found out the school gets nothing from it. They just do it for the convenience of the parents. I am mixed on the idea. It is a convenience, but my kids have used a lot of their stuff from year to year (how many rounded scissors do I need?). We often re-use the composition notebooks b/c they only used 20 pages of it. I can't throw those out or just send them to recycling... we "re-use" before we recycle. So, I generally don't buy the kits anymore... but nothing wrong with buying them and doing it that way.[/quote]
