[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ I work with a teacher who spends $$$ on TpT, trinkets to give to the kids and food. None of this is necessary in high school. We have materials at my school and I’m not sure the TpT materials are even that great.  They don’t need snacks every math class. [/quote]

None of that is necessary in elementary school either.

It is if you don't have a curriculum and are expected to not only teach whole group lessons but small groups as well. And food is necessary for kids who eat lunch at 10am and are hungry at 2pm when school ends at 3:30.[/quote]

I understand if you work in a low income school where kids are really hungry and don’t have food. But I don’t have patience for the teachers supplying snacks to all and then the kids are eating your junk food instead of what we actually packed. That’s what one of mine did. Yes, he preferred the choc covered granola bars or mini muffins to whatever I packed back in k. I am also a teacher and have given good when kids are actually hungry and I worked in a school where they had nothing. Some teachers think that’s all kids, every day and it’s just not true. They like to play the martyrs and complain about spending their own money. [/quote]
