[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks. I didn't know they had communal supplies in kindergarten. When I was in kindergarten a few decades ago everyone had to bring their own supplies, and there was no communal anything. Thus why I didn't figure it out (to the PP who was alarmed that I couldn't figure this out -- sheesh). This is all new to me, as there is also no communal anything in my DCs' preschool either. I also wasn't being sensitive to anything. I was simply curious. Also, the logic isn't necessarily sound. If they really just want 50% of the class bringing some communal supplies, it doesn't follow that dividing the list by gender is the way to go. Classes are generally not evenly divided along gender lines, and often they are heavily weighted with more of one gender than the other.[/quote] It's communal in Kindergarten. I think many of the schools split it by gender because it's usually half boys and half girls. You're not going to necessarily get half are last name A-M and half are last name N-Z.[/quote]
