    We’d never expect a firefighter to buy equipment for the firehouse, so why do we expect teachers to pay for classroom supplies? Tell us how much you've spent, or show us:

    I have 2 children in elementary school w/ wonderful teachers. They care for their students & sometimes it’s a thankless job. Since we don’t pay their salaries at the natl average, the least we can do is leave their $250 tax deduction alone!

    I purchased every student’s back to school supplies. I have NO teacher budget. All the pencils, staplers, staples etc. come from me. I buy breakfast food for my students weekly. Please don’t let congress take away my ability to take care of my students.

    Stop taking and patting yourselves on the back. Teachers are the back bone of the USA.

    I’ve been trying to find a way to express my frustration around not being able to deduct a small portion of what I spend on my classroom. If you have your saved receipts lying around (as I always do) and don’t mind looking a bit silly, feel free to join me and

    You're in the majority! Many of our members spend at least that much on their classrooms every year.

    I too debated whether to buy textbooks and workbooks because there weren’t enough to go round, so I did it and hope for a reimbursement.Why? So my would have what they need. Supplies e.g.pencils, markers, folders, binders, notebooks are annual gifts.

    Just restocked the student supplies so kids can get their work done. (Doesn't include the snack cart for the kids who didn't get breakfast.)

    One picture shows what the school system provided when I moved to the newly built school. The other picture shows the items brought on the moving truck that had been in storage for the summer. Everything on the truck (and the truck rental) was paid for
