[quote=Anonymous]PP--the supply lists are similar to the ones you would have had as a kid. Instead of each kid keeping his/her supplies in the desk, some supplies are kept in a communal area. It's not a big deal, really. And it's not odd. What is odd is people spending too much energy on this. I was teacher in FCPS for over ten years. It just made sense to pool some of the supplies. It kept the desks neater and ensured that when it came time to use them, the supplies were there, easy to distribute and easy to clean up. That, in turn, meant MORE TIME FOR LEARNING. So when the kids needed to cut out something, seriously it was SO MUCH FASTER to have 2 kids pass out the scissors than wait for 24 kids to look through their desks to find them and then work through the 4-5 kids saying, "hey I can't find mine..."
