[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids pre-k list is all cleaning supplies: no markers, no crayons, no pencils. Why can the school provide those things, but not cleaning supplies? (Or, worse, they won't be using those things?)[/quote]

Don't send it in. No way do I send in cleaning supplies and things (and I'm a teacher). If the teachers at that school feel they need to provide things that run out, it's their job to approach the principal / school board with rebudgeting concerns.[/quote]

omg

As a teacher, I ALWAYS donate supplies to my kids' classrooms.

nice way to support your colleagues

What's a box of tissues?  or hand soap?

Eh... I kinda get where she's coming from on the cleaning supplies, but agree asking the principal is silly.  When I was teaching (HS), for whatever reason, my department chair would buy Kleenex with part of our department budget, the same money for buying books and pencil sharpeners. The kids got used to it being in the classroom, but no matter how much she ordered, it was always gone by January or February. Students would get all bent out of sorts because the free Kleenex supply was gone and they would get angry with me for not spending my personal money on more. I'm not their mom, I need to supply them with the materials for learning, snot is not my responsibility.
