[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child just entered public school and there is a list of items that we are supposed to send in, such as tissues and hand sanitizers. It is my understanding that these supplies are pooled in the classroom, so it is not the case that these supplies are for individual use. I cannot imagine it is cost-effective for the schools to beg from the parents in this way. Moreover, --wouldn't it be more economical for the schools to buy these items in bulk? It's quite expensive and if families are poor, it is not cheap to buy lysol wipes or boxes of tissues. Why do our school taxes not cover school supply expenses? Surely this is something that could be budgeted for. [/quote] It probably is cost effective. The schools would find a way to buy the lowest quality items at the highest prices. [/quote]
