[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always thought it was a logistical reason. Much easier to have, for example, 7 communal caddies of school supplies on each table, than 27 baskets for each individual kids.
Younger kids sit at group tables, not desks where there is storage. [/quote]

Pretty much every ES classroom I've ever been in is set up with group tables, with the kids rotating among the tables to work on different things.  It's much easier to have the supplies pooled, with the appropriate supplies sitting on each table, than to have kids carrying their individual supplies around.  Also, with things like group projects, supplies are going to get mixed up.  And you don't have to deal with a kid losing their red crayon or breaking their pencil and having to borrow/find a replacement so he can finish his work.  I have no problem with it.  I just don't think of it as my kid having to share "her" supplies, it's just providing a share of the classroom's supplies.  She has plenty of her own stuff at home.  [/quote]
