[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG, OP. Really? Just buy why the f*ck the teacher asks for---half the time they are buying stuff for their class out of their own pocket throughout the year. They have been doing it long enough to know which supplies are better worth the brand. [/quote] +1. GOD FORBID you buy a fancy folder and a POOR CHILD gets to use it while your special snowflake has to make do with a flimsy inferior product. (Sorry to use "special snowflake," but sometimes there's no better word.). In any case--as a former teacher I can assure you that most parents do buy the recommended brands. So even if they are pooled your child has a good chance of not getting screwed with crappy rose art crayons (the horror!). For the $15 total you will save by buying cheaper brands, it's not worth starting on the wrong foot with the teacher. If money is that tight for you, contact the PTA as they have funds to assist needy children. [/quote]
