[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a teacher and don’t love it for germ reasons (I’m immunosuppressed) but a lot of my students come from  cultures that have more collectivist than individualistic beliefs, so it’s more within their comfort level. There really isn’t an issue with people not getting things back that they’ve shared so it works and doesn’t make the kids who don’t have enough supplies feel shamed.

We don’t get many parent donations (focus school) so I supplement from my own pocket and it’s less expensive to buy stuff kids can use communally than to make sure each child has their own set of every supply they’ll need. [/quote]

Thanks for spreading the flu due to your respect for their collectivist beliefs.[/quote]

Or due to parents not teaching their kids basic hygiene skills. Have you even ever introduced your kids to the idea of a tissue? Because when you send them to school with snot dripping out of their noses, it's clear that you've taught them that their hand and/or arm is the proper way to wipe that up. And the coughing and sneezing in people's faces without having one iota of regard for what that means for others. Clearly you taught them that too. Parents need to do better. Selfish parents = selfish kids. [/quote]
