[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New to Fairfax county schools from DC. In DC our public school just had us pay a fee for school supplies at the beginning of the year and the school would buy them in bulk. The fee could be waived for lower income families. Why don't Fairfax county schools do that? It seems so ridiculously inefficient to have parents buying different brands/versions of x size folder or sticky note. [/quote] Because school employees have more important things to do to prepare for the school year.[/quote] But it literally would take them less time in the end - order in bulk and you don't have to deal with individual parents turning in 10 different versions of this or that which needs to be sorted - you can buy a box of 40 scissors rather than sorting through 20 different bags turned in by parents with other assorted items. It would be more efficient for them, not less.[/quote]
