[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does my 1st grader still have to share his school supplies with all he’s “friends”? 
Personally I don’t like it.  Do you?[/quote]

Personally I don't like it when people complain that they have to contribute school supplies for the whole class instead of just for their own first-grader.

Even better would be if school supplies were school-funded, but we don't get to have such nice things here.[/quote]

[b]Our schools and school system ARE well funded.[/b]  Its how the schools and school system choose to use the money.  I have no issue buying my child school supplies and buying extra.  If you can afford it, is it really that hard to contribute a bit more for another child whose parents cannot or will not buy.[/quote]

Compared to what?[/quote]

Our teachers and staff are well paid compared to other locations in the us especially given they work 10 months. [/quote]

So they should have to pay for supplies out of their own pockets? How much of your own money goes to paying for supplies needed to do your job? And of that, how much do you deduct on your taxes? Teachers can deduct a max of $250 per year for their expenses. [/quote]
