Exhibit A: Reasons why teachers ask for extra supplies[/quote]

Or why they spend their own money on classroom supplies for kids who aren’t theirs. [/quote]

Imagine if you had to pay for the ink toner and printing paper to do your job. Add to that, new teacher salaries are usually not high enough for them to live on their own in FFX County. So please, just send in the supplies. Your kid might end up sharing a pencil/marker here or there, it won’t be the end of the world.

Yeah, but the OP’s teacher is asking for too many pencils in my opinion. [/quote]

welcome to federal employee land, except we don't get to deduct it from our taxes.

My husband is a federal employee. He does not bring his own supplies.

The teacher deduction is significantly less than what teachers spend and also doesn’t impact what I owe on taxes at all. I’ve had a student tell me it was my job to provide her supplies. No, honey, it’s not. I imagine her parents are on this thread.[/quote]

I’d love to know the last time that federal employee above had to purchase toilet paper or tissues for the entire office. Or, for that matter, copy paper for the entire office.

That teacher deduction is considerably less than what I actually spend each year. [/quote]

We’ve never had to buy TP, tissues or copy paper.
