[quote=Anonymous]I work in a schoolwide position. Since Covid in particular, the way students disrespect school supplies has made it harder in my classroom. I open 4 new boxes of pencils every one-two weeks because students break them in half, walk away with them, and intentionally break the tips so they have to be resharpened much more frequently. My school doesn't share supplies with specialists, so that's literally hundreds of dollars I am spending just on pencils. There's also crayons, craft supplies for lesson activities, tissues, etc. along with dozens of books every year to punch up my classroom library. I get that parents are frustrated, and it's totally within your rights to buy fewer supplies. It's also one of the major reasons I dissuade young people from teaching, because to do a good job, you end up spending a lot out of pocket. It's not like buying your own pens at a typical job. It's buying pens for everyone you work with, every week.[/quote]
