[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why all the complaints?

My daughter's entering 5th; my son starts K.  The only K supply was a backpack (no wheels).  The rest were donations - glue sticks, wipes, etc.

My daughter's list was extensive.  By the time we paid, it was close to $60.  But I let her pick out her supplies, which meant she chose some fancy designs.

I don't care.  I want them to like school, and shopping for supplies should be fun.  She's not in high-farms school.  So donations are not an issue.

In other schools, however, less fortunate kids receive donations, as there's usually a bank of supplies.

So if you can afford it, why be so negative?  Who cares how picky the teacher is?  We're all different - with our own styles.  Be grateful your child has supplies and is ready to learn.

jeez

That's great for you. Now imagine you have twins with that same 5th grade list, or a 5th grader and other kids in graders a bit higher and lower.

In other words, get out of your bubble, use your brain, and think about what's really necessary in a classroom and what is fluff.
