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.

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....

Actually you will be the one he robs because he feels entitled to your things. 20 dollars isnt the issue, its the lesson that he learns from it.

Nice of you.

I wish someone would feel pitty for me and pay my bills.

I need that 20 dollars to buy my horse feed. My momma is proud.

look, all that needed to be done was put on the flyer to please send extra supplies to help kids who's parents couldn't afford them and I would have been more then happy to help, but sending my daughter home in tears because she picked out a ruler with super heroes she loved and it was taken away from her was way over the line.

Honestly? I would gladly buy 2 chromebooks (1 for my kid and 1 for another student) if they would just switch to a digital based curriculum instead of actual paper textbooks and tests, homework, etc.
A lot of schools are heading this direction, but it's kind of asinine that education is the last place to adapt to technological advances.
