When did classroom Amazon and Target registries become a thing for teachers?

I’m seeing teachers post classroom wishlists and registries for their classrooms as school starts. They already get paid a decent salary for only working 9 months out of the year. That pay comes out of our tax dollars.
Now they want us to pay for all their crap that they want in their classrooms too. This is like the tipping culture that has gotten out of control. Everyone’s always looking for handouts. So dumb

My kids or 30 and 25 so I'm going with a long time ago.

I'm pretty sure anything besides the bare minimum supplies comes from their own pocket.

I'm in my 40s and we were doing this in Elementary. But it was part of the school supply list. So along with pencils and notebooks there would be a box of kleenex, posterboard, colored paper, 4 rolls of paper towels, etc. It was going to be used in the classroom. No one cared.

It’s voluntary, isn’t it? Then who the hell cares? Don’t contribute if you don’t want to.
No it isn’t. Tipping culture is asking for tips and you get nothing in return. Your kids get something out of what you contribute.

First, the school year is 10 months now, August to May. My wife taught EBR school for 25 years, when she got home her work day was not over, grading and recording tests, Making new test, lesson planning and the damn phone calls from wacky parents.
The registries are not for her personally; they are for supplies and materials for the children's education. you have no idea what a good teacher has to do for the students, not every teacher is dedicated to the student's welfare.

If teachers want anything besides bare essentials it’s coming out of their pocket. Some of it is tax deductible, but it’s on them.
I mean, all you have to do is keep scrolling. People are begging for a lot more with a lot less justification on social media.

This isn’t what is contained on these Amazon lists.

Do you buy pens, printer ink, pencils, Kleenex, and other supplies for your co-workers with your paycheck?
Also, teachers work 10 months and attend professional development throughout the summer. Not to mention unpaid evenings and weekends. Salaries are in the $40,000 range. Teachers with 30+ years of experience make about $58,000. You think that’s a lot of money for having a college degree and teaching 25+ kids per class???

They also have to spend 7-8 hours a day with your shithead kids.

You are consistently one of the stupidest mother frickers on this site. No one is making you pay for anything.
A lot of teachers have kids that can't afford anything and have no support at home. If individuals or businesses want to support that, what's the issue?
You're such a bitch

I'm 60, but don't remember elaborate classroom decorations like they do today

Idk man, in Catholic school were just required to bring supplies.
For classroom stuff like kleenex, paper towels, etc;, I think assignments rotated throughout the year for different students (parents) being responsible to bring in supplies.
ETA: and then we had to fundraise, human to human, in the days before social media when we just had to beg neighbors and relatives to buy raffle tickets or sponsorships.

Teachers don’t attend professional development over the summer. Only the idiots. I got out of teaching this year after 13 years. Couldn’t do it anymore. And I made 102k last year as a teacher.
First 5 years I spent 1000s each year on supplies for kids. But after kids tore that shite up and didn’t respect my stuff I stopped doing it. They needed a Kleenex I’d tell them to use their sleeve.

Going on forever. And it’s a good thing.
I don’t think teachers are using Kleenex, markers, and colored paper for personal gain.

I think what OP is talking about isn’t the supply list, it’s the teachers putting an Amazon registry on their fb page for the things they need for their classroom. I’m not going to pretend to know what a teacher needs, I do know that in La, admins are bloated as hell. They can offload those bastards and put that money towards resources.

Takes one to know one. So guess what, you stupid little bitch? You could have easily kept scrolling, not read the thread, and definitely not posted in it.
