My daughter is going into 1st grade and the kids k-4 are NOT allowed backpacks with wheels. They also need baby wipes, camera's, tissues and paper towels. Along with ziplock bags. There are 33 kids in each class, how many of these items do they really use a year? How much do you think is left over?
Some teachers require the kids to have those fold up matts and they specify, "no roll up matts".
Why do teachers do this. are they trying to make it hard on parents. Now, I am not by any means disgracing teachers, but I want to know why all the crazy demands? Wouldn't it be better on the first day of school, to put all those wipes and stuff in a hat and let the kids draw? This way you don't get too much and the parents can save $$ without haveing to buy all of it. I know there is some left over in the closest.
