[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just order the supplies kit that gets delivered to school. Yes it might be an extra $10, but worth it not to have to go to 4 different stores and search online for specific supplies and then second guess brands and types. I’m sure the teacher prefers this method too. [/quote]

No way! That is one junky box. Not one name brand pencil or crayon in there and there's dollar tree type of headphones. I'm not into brand names usually, but Crayola and Ticonderoga and Expo do work better than some off brand. And then I'm pissed off when other parents buy the junky box and my kid gets stuck with those waxy crayons that don't work instead of the .99 cent Crayola box that I bought. I feel like those boxes are predatory on poor families who don't understand what's going on (we are a Title 1 school). They're way more than an extra $10 though[/quote]

Huh? I’ve bought the school kits at two different schools and there might be off brand expo markers, index cards, or scissors but the crayons are Crayola, pencils are brand names, composition notebooks are normal, haven’t had an issue with the junky stuff. It’s usually $100-130 for the box depending on the grade. [/quote]
