[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread caused me to pull up my DC's back to school list for 1st grade. I'll see your 4, 8, 12 packs of glue and raise you "20 Large Glue Sticks." [/quote]

Last year my child's teacher sent home an email every week pleading for glue sticks. I finally caved around March/April and bought/sent in a box of 30 small glue sticks, even though my child said they weren't needed and there was already a box like that on the supplies shelf. I later talked to the room mom and another mom who'd also sent in boxes of 30 glue sticks earlier in the spring. No clue what happened to the dozens (if not 100) glue sticks the teacher amassed.

What happens is that every time they get used, you have one kid who decides to screw it all the way out of the tube and then the stick breaks off, so that one gets thrown away.  And then three kids won’t put the caps on properly so the top 1/2” of the sticks dry out and need to be broken off to get to useable glue.  And one will just disappear, probably into someone’s pocket and then goes home, or inadvertently thrown away by a student during clean up.  [/quote]
