re: Buy your own school supplies

This shite is out of control "oh the chidren the children". Where are the parents? They can't save $4 per month for school supplies? They can save $4 per month but we have a bunch of weepy vagenes out there that refuse to make them do it.

Okay, tough guy, when the kid falls behind in his grade level because his grandmother is raising him and she's on social security and food stamps and his parents are dead or in prison and he never catches up so he either gets socially promoted or he drops out of school and turns to a life of crime all because you were too heartless and/or cheap to buy him $20 worth of supplies when he was in the first or second grade, I hope it's you he robs.

That's why I give the supplies directly to teachers I know and trust to make good decisions who to let have the supplies I buy. They know the kids' situations at home. If it's deadbeat parents, the teachers only give the kid the minimum tools he needs to complete his work assignments while continually hounding the parents to buy all of the supplies their child needs.

And they don't have "community supplies." I've volunteered in both of their classrooms and I've seen the 25 drawer supply cabinet containing each child's supplies in separate drawers in their name. They can't use anything from another child's drawer...only theirs.

If a kid has been dealt a terrible hand in life and just needs a hand up not a hand out, he gets the helping hand up.

Go ahead and continue sitting on your high horse pretending you're doing the world a favor by not spending $20 to help a child whose life is already difficult enough. Your momma must be so proud of you....
