Okay, I have 3 kids in school.
So far 2 days into the school year we have already paid more for supplies than for clothes, shoes, and bookbags!
This is the list for a 5th grader~
clorox wipes to clean desk
tissues
scissors
glue
pens-pencils
crayons or colored pencils
NO paper bag book covers, they have to be the book "socks"
The list goes on, and I am sure it's not over.
Does anyone else think this is rediculous?
Shouldnt the schools be supplying tissues? Where are the janitors that clean the desks?
I dont want my kids using hand gel, and clorox wipes constantly. If they get sick than they get sick! I didnt have all that crap when I was in school, and I survived.
I have spent $45 on 3 binders because the teacher wanted specific binders.
Why do these teachers have free reign on choosing school supplies?
Shouldnt the schools standardize by grade what is required?
Thankfully, we can barely afford this stuff, but what about the people who cant?
