[b]Seriously[/b], there's no money in the budget for teachers to have red pens? And they go through 25 of them in a year?

Teacher here (not K). I get reimbursed by the school for $35 worth of school supplies a year, when I actually spend upwards of $400 a year on supplies . And yes, I easily go through 25 colored pens a year grading papers (I am an English teacher).

Every year, I meet parents like you that assume these supplies are covered by "the budget." Please stop assuming this.

[b]Lighten up. It's a jokey thread.[/b] I have teachers in my family, and am aware that they spend too much money on supplies.[b] I can still raise an eyebrow [/b]when primary-grade elementary school teachers ask for 25 red and green marking pens. Those are the years of stickers and stamps, not papers heavily marked up like manuscripts [/quote]

A pet peeve of mine: people who rag on others, and then, when someone calls them on it, tell them to "lighten up." The fact is, you are a big-time whiner. Notice your (highlighted) choice of language above: it is not "jokey."
