[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I give out school supplies all year long so it's gifts for everyone all year.[/quote]

Its only a gift if you are buying them.  We donated a ton of supplies as do other parents so its not a gift from the teacher.  However, I prefer nothing to stuff we'd toss.[/quote]

I'm a teacher.  Since September I've spent $1500 out of pocket on my classroom.  My students can't afford lunch, let alone pencils.[/quote]

Ouch! Where are you?

I typically spend $0 beyond what is reimbursed.

My team donated $1/student to a charity.[/quote]

Why would you do that vs. taking care fo the students you have?  Most teachers spend money.[/quote]

We have to force the district to see how they need to adjust the budget. And that won’t happen if we keep enabling. So I don’t.[/quote]

I always think the same thing. Why would the school provide paper if the teachers will pay out of pocket? It’s enabling, I agree, and I don’t spend my own $.[/quote]
