[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If parents don’t purchase the supplies, the teachers often have to do it.

I worked in a public school that provided no supplies for teachers. I had to purchase copy paper, tissue paper, class sets of composition books, books for my classroom library, etc. I also needed basic decorations for walls and all of my own supplies (whiteboard markers, pens, etc.). I spent close to $800 a year at that school, and was still told by an administrator that I didn’t decorate my classroom enough.

I don’t work for that district anymore. [/quote]
[b]BOOKS FOR YOUR CLASSROOM LIBRARY -You truly are not very smart.  All you school has to do is post or send an email out requesting books from the public/parents.  [/b]Our school did this and literally hundreds of current/old/favorite great condition books were donated. We had to use the HS kids (as volunteer hours) to help us organize.  There was a bin at the local HS for this too. We are in Loudoun County btw.  I would have made a supplies stipend a condition of my employment. [/quote]

Not everyone works in wealthy schools. Virtually none of my students have books at home. The vast majority had never been to a library. [/quote]
