[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Send some in. [/b] That sounds like a failure to order vs budget costs.   Real budget cuts are preschool, autism program, trades program, and mva.  [/quote]

Sounds like the OP is a teacher.  Are you expected to take in your own toilet paper to work while your boss wastes millions of dollars on useless garbage?[/quote]

No, but as a parent, this has been going on for years, and those of us who can donate, and are good people regularly send in extra supplies, tissues, wipes, etc. to make sure all kids have it and teachers have what they need.

The BOE needs to be held accountable but in the meanwhile, be decent and buy a few extra supplies for the classroom, especially with things on sale right now.[/quote]

It’s much more complicated than asking parents to chip in. It’s lovely when those that can, do. But we can’t expect families to do what the school should budget for IMO.  Title 1 schools, middle schools, high schools - we are on our own pretty much to stock our classrooms.  It’s starting to get to be too much having to constantly shop for not only my house, but my classroom too.  [/quote]

Then stop shopping for the classroom.  Things will only change when teachers stop doing this.  As long as ya’ll keep doing so, school boards and communities will keep letting you do it.[/quote]
