Also - schools publish lists of classroom supplies for parents to send with their students. Probably handled appropriately by some schools - but how many kids are crying at home when their parents say they can't afford to send anything?
The average teacher spends nearly $500 of their own money on school supplies for their students. It doesn’t have to be like this. We should provide teachers the tools and resources they need to educate our kids. #ClearTheListhttps://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona-education/2019/08/01/clearthelist-trends-teachers-seek-help-school-supplies-salaries-education-funding/1879142001/ …

Why is why us teachers work so hard to ensure that our students do have the supplies needed regardless of their family income. My 3rd grade kiddos would appreciate any support given to their Amazon classroom wish-list

Can you help
#clearthelist@BetsyDeVosED, and pay for these teachers’ school supplies? Maybe even sell one of your 11 yachts and cover everyone’s, so they don’t have to be an Uber driver after school lets out? Hope you will answer. - End of conversation

You should find out what the average room mom ends up spending when the other parents don’t step up to help. IN addition to what the teachers spend. And THAT’s another reason why there is inequality in schools and classrooms too.

We don't have room moms in my district. It all comes out of the teachers pocket!

Thankyou . I am not a teacher but a mother of 3 whom loves and sees how much our great educators do. The forced to send donation lists to all parents to help. Down to copy paper. Copy paper! It's not right.

Also they get there early, lunch breaks are a hand full of grapes or crackers and prepping or grading during student lunch. Stay late to set the classroom and still take the rest of the work home with them. These wonderful humans are serving all of our children. They need help

my average out of pocket costs to be a teacher, from supplies, copying (first school had a limit/mo), books, etc over 23 years has been about $1,800/year. Think about that. Better paid than most teachers, but still . . .

My son is a teacher who also coaches football and basketball. He found cleats on sale for $16/pair and bought 12 pairs since he knows many of the 42 kids on the team can’t afford them.
