[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't mind buying consumable items for my child, but it just seems weird to me how every year I'm supposed to be buying her a pair of scissors. This scissors go to school. It never come back. It's just very strange that apparently every year the teacher loses 20 to 30 pairs of scissors. I can understand losing a few pairs but 20 or 30?

Also every year the second graders learn about measuring so they have to buy rulers and bring those into school. And again it would just seem to be more efficient to buy a set of rulers for the class. I'm sure a few would get broken or lost.[/quote]

They should be sending your child's supplies home but they usually just put them all together and they are shared.  I always bought extra and the cheapest but decent stuff I could find to donate more for kids who can't or parents will not but usually a few weeks in would swap out some of my child's stuff with nicer things than the teacher gave as it wasn't ever ours (i.e. folders, etc).[/quote]
