[quote=Anonymous]OP -- it's pretty standard in FCPS (and other schools) that the supplies are communal in the early grades. I guess they get tired of a few kids who can't keep track of their pencils or scissors, so they just keep them all in one place so everyone has access. But, even in the later grades, it is standard practice to say "girls bring ______, and boys bring ____________." If they said "last name A-M" -- they would certainly get some yahoos who can't tell which of their names is the "last name" and need clarification. Splitting it by gender clears up any uncertainty in 99.99% of the cases.[/quote]
