[quote=Anonymous]Teachers don’t size up parents. It’s the insecure parents that think this, What gets me every year is the wipes, tissues and sanitizer and ziploc bags we have to supply. You mean docs didn’t provide janitorial supplies? And no tissues for kids that sneeze. I find this ridiculous. I’m also not sending in 40 glue sticks. I’ll send 4, if they run out I’ll buy more. And for Christs sake 4 packs of 12 pre-sharpened pencils? I buy one pack and sharpen them. My child has never used an entire pencil but somehow needs 48?? To the op- you’re completely correct. Makes no sense at all. The pta runs a fundraiser to supple the box for the following year but it’s completely overpriced. I think ours was $140 for grade 1. I bought the supplies for $60. I also hate pooled supplies. If it’s pooled it should be provided from the taxes we pay. [/quote]
