[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience (mom, SIL are teachers), teachers count on the supply list to cover everything for the year, and have to make up any gaps out of their own pockets. So if everyone brings in half packs of construction paper and partially used erasers, that might be economically sound on the parents' parts but it pushes the cost onto the teacher at the end of the semester when there's not enough supplies left.[/quote] I'm not aware of anyone having to purchase any supplies to cover the gap. School principals have some discretion over it, so it might vary by school, but when I was teaching we had a whole supply room full of stuff and never had to buy any kind of school supply. My son's school had the same - in fact, at one point they "discovered" a cabinet that everyone forgot about that had been used to store unused supplies, and there were just tons and tons of school supplies sitting in there.
