[quote=Anonymous]Always include some of the gently-used stuff amid the new items. It's good for your kids to learn to re-use school supplies in our throw-away culture. The teacher sounds wasteful. Also, I didn't always buy the brand requested, I might buy the Target "Up and Up" brand color markers instead of the Crayola markers that were more expensive. I never had a teacher say one word about it. Ever. Then again, we stocked up on extra of everything and dropped off a big bag of extra (new) supplies in August and January to the teacher, unprompted, for classroom use. We were good like that. But Up and Up vs. Crayola? I'm taking the better deal, baby. A barely-used pencil, half-used pen or nearly-new eraser from last year? Put that in the pencil carrier. Mom of HS graduate [/quote]
