[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The teacher who refuses to purchase supplies a few pages back has it right. You don't bring in supplies, you don't have supplies at all. That's it. None of this pooling supplies nonsense. If I'm paying $15 for trbfjdndnrid pencils, then my kids should be the ones using them.

So a 10 year old, whose parents either don’t have funds or aren’t with it enough to purchase correct supplies, just sits there? Do you think any teacher will allow a kid to just sit there because their parents didn’t send a notebook and pencil? [/quote]

Apparently some do. It's entirely appropriate. Reminder emails and notes home are all that should be required of teachers. Teachers are not parents. This is the parents' responsibility.[/quote]
Right- so when a parent doesn’t answer you or send in supplies, you just let the kid sit there and struggle? It’s not their fault. If I did that as a teacher, and [b]an admin observed me allowing a student to sit there without proper supplies, they’d surely be upset with me[/b]. Counselors have extra supplies & teachers usually purchase extra supplies as well. Not every teacher collects “communal supplies”. I stopped doing that during Covid times and never returned to it.

The admin can buy the supplies if they're upset [/quote]
