[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience (mom, SIL are teachers), teachers count on the supply list to cover everything for the year, and have to make up any gaps out of their own pockets. So if everyone brings in half packs of construction paper and partially used erasers, that might be economically sound on the parents' parts but it pushes the cost onto the teacher at the end of the semester when there's not enough supplies left.[/quote] Spouse of a teacher, and have spent years in the school in various ways. The Elementary classrooms generally have more than enough supplies. Too much goes home unused. Op, when I actually got supplies back (our school pooled supplies) I sent used the next year. I always let the teacher know that if more was needed (as in, my child used his supplies) I would send more. Anything that came home unused didn't go back the next year. Or, I sent very basics on day 1 and waited for a list from the teacher.[/quote]
