[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP of this thread. This was my post, to get us back on track:

"Why? The fact that our children bring home tons of slightly used pencils/erasers/scissors/folders/etc is testament to the fact that they don't get fully used up during the school year and you don't NEED brand new supplies. [b]What harm is it to you if we send those same items in for the coming school year?"[/b][/quote]

If your supplies are in like-new condition such that no one could tell for sure if they’d been used before, no one is going to say a word about them not being new.  Send in all the like-new scissors and rulers you want.  But when you send in a folder that last year’s teacher wrote a student number on in sharpie, that’s a hassle for this year’s teacher because your kid will probably have a different number in this year’s class and now the teacher has to label over the old one rather than just writing it right on the folder with her own sharpie.  And when you send in a box of nearly dried out markers, those will last about a day and a half before they get thrown out again.  Half-used packets of loose paper are a hassle to store in the classroom until they are needed without paper falling out and making a mess.[/quote]
