[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s sad that in the richest nation in the world, in one of the wealthiest counties (because yes, we are still one of the wealthier counties in the country), teachers have to depend on parental donations to buy basics for their classrooms.

Basics?MCPS provides for all materials and resources needed to support the curriculum. I'm always baffled to hear people say this. I'm on the PTSA Board at our school and every year we ask the Principal and staff how we can help in terms of school supplies, etc. The answer is always, "We don't need any of that. MCPS provides." Even my teacher friend who moved from MCPS to a system in South Carolina said there is such a stark difference in how teachers are supported between the 2 with MCPS providing support by far compared to where she is today.[/quote]

Maybe your school, but not ours.  However, we just do without.  PTA is not allowed to buy some supplies according to our principal.  We offered to buy books and other things and were told it wasn't allowed.  Google slides aren't enough for some kids.[/quote]
