[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where do you teach PP?[/quote]

Fairfax County [/quote]

One of the richest counties in America. So I can see why you wouldn't need to spend your own money.

If you are the same poster, do all of your teachers spend $1,000+ for school supplies?

Are you getting my point? You are buying basics that the school should be supplying. Why in the world should the school supply them if the employees are going to do it? You say the school can't afford to buy them, so they don't. You say you can't afford to buy them, yet you do.

What would happen if all the teachers stopped enabling and stopped subsidizing the district?[/quote]

Every teacher at my school spends a good $500+ per year.  Just because your schools has the money for basic supplies does not mean every school district does.  It sounds to me like you live in a bubble.  Do you know any teachers who teach in high poverty schools?  Years ago, I worked as an assistant in a wealthy school district and we never had to want for anything.  Every piece of technology worked and if it didn't, someone would come to fix in within a day.  Copy paper of every color lined the copy room floor to ceiling (we are given 2 boxes of copy paper per year; if you run out, oh well).  There were 4 copy machines in the building so you never had to wait long.  Any school supply you needed was in a closet.  Take what you need.  If you run out of pencils, glue sticks, tissues, etc you could just email the parents and have more than enough by the end of the week.  My school supplies the teachers with a random assortment of stuff at the beginning of the year.  We trade and get some of what we need.  If the students do not bring in the supplies from the list, the teachers fill in the gaps, not the school.  The school has to pay for things the rich county schools don't like social workers and mental health workers and behavioral officers and school police.  The point is, if we didn't buy anything, our students would've have anything.  We don't even have a librarian.  [/quote]
