I think what OP is talking about isn’t the supply list, it’s the teachers putting an Amazon registry on their fb page


Yes. You are at least one person in here who has half a brain.

When I was a kid, every parent got a list of what the teacher expected them to bring with them on the first day of class. Kleenex, paper towels, crayons, glue, etc. The teachers didn't buy the shite, the parents did.

and honestly, teachers shouldn't be expected to spend their money on those kids.

These days too many parents don't care enough about their kids education to buy anything for their classroom.

Those parents attitude is "they" should pay for the supplies you listed for their kids classroom.

What? Teachers in Louisiana make, on average, 52k a year.

Teacher - 180 days
Avg white collar worker - 234 days

~77% of time worked.

Even annualized, they'd make more if they managed a Panda Express.

That pay comes out of our tax dollars.


The saddest part of this is that if we wouldn't have marginalized educators to begin with, you're complaint would be completely flipped.

Teachers need more money, not less. If they had been afforded more money in the first place you would understand why.

I never saw that, but did see a book wish list. I bought one. Good to have books in class.

They should quit begging and perform their job with the supplies provided. Easiest job in the world, glorified babysitters.

Found the idiot. If you dropped 10 grand on school supplies, you are doing it wrong.

We just had a thread recently that showed teachers were OT poor.

Sounds like someone in your area is having fun with taxpayer money?

Any handout would be for kids, yes? Do you think some teachers are hoarding the Kleenex and notebooks thinking they pulled one over on you?

Since school systems bloated their rosters with non-teacher admins and sucked the money out of the classrooms.

My oldest is mid teens. Been happening at public school the whole time. Parents try to buy favor for being lax on their kids.

It started happening about the time they discovered another angle to ask other people to fork over for their bills. We need to start some kind of system so people can know what a job pays before they get a degree in that field.

I could be wrong, but I think that’s called the Internet.
