[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d love to hear from teachers. Are they annoyed at the whole school supplies issue? Surely it’s a problem to have to fill all your cabinets with tons and tons of supplies (maybe getting them 2x a year would be better?). Are teachers annoyed that other teachers want the composition books and they don’t?[/quote]

We always get a plea mid year for more Kleenex and wipes. I wish teachers and schools would be honest and admit they aren’t ever going to have our kids using 12 pencils a year or more than 5 pages in a notebook because we are “rich and lucky enough” to have iPads for each kid starting in kindergarten. 4 boxes of Kleenex, 2 tubs of wipes, a box of ziplocks, a box of markers or colored pencils and a 5 pack of pencils is all each kid needs, sadly.

We get this plea for Kleenex and antibacterial wipes too. I don’t understand. How does a class go through 80 boxes of Kleenex and 60 antibacterial wipe tubs (3x20)? And all before Christmas? The math ain’t mathin. And I see everyone bringing the correct supplies on back to school night.

30 glue sticks a person is kinda wild too. I’m super into art projects and my kids go through maybe one glue stick a month for all 3 of them. [/quote]

My.classes (in middle school) go through 2-3 boxes of tissues per week, so it's possible! I.had a student this past year who used an entire.box of tissues by herself over the course of three hours (I had her for academic class and Advisory back-to-back, so it was three hours). Her parents said she had allergies and that it wasn't their responsibility to supply tissues for  school, so she didn't have her own box.[/quote]
