I'm not going to let kids be embarrassed and suffer for the poor decisions of their parents.
1. You misunderstanding "suffering". Cancer? Check. Starvation? Check. Disease? Check. Abuse? Check. Using generic school supplies or last years pencils? Not so much.
2. Given what human nature is, one should always be very hesitant to break the link between cause and effect in the realm of human endeavor. It is one of the most powerful methods to change human behavior and motivate people there is.
I'm all for preventing children from suffering...but not having the same kinds of nice things other kids do in a school setting can be a tremendous motivation to success later in life.
