    In NY, @UFT says our great teachers spend an average of $485 of their own money on classroom supplies. They deserve a tax break!

        How about a tax break for parents for school supplies? Better yet, fund the schools so parents don't have to buy custodial supplies.

        They deserve for education to be fully funded so school districts/states can provide all supplies needed without the teachers having to.

        They deserve a tax cut , a raise and maybe an expense account.

        Yes they should with tax payer money. I said expense account as a joke. Teachers should not be paying for supplies.

        They're funded plenty! The funds are misappropriated

        That too. It's a mess. In any case it's unacceptable for teachers to get low pay and come out of pocket for basics.

        Or we could fund schools adequately so that we don't ask teachers and parents to buy school and classroom supplies out of their own pockets.

        Or we can use tax revenues to fund all our schools adequately. Why have teachers pay out of pocket? Shouldn't the system cover the costs?
