        Absolutely true! I bought all of my students school supplies. Our text books were trash, they had major historic errors & didn’t align w/what the kids needed to know, so I worked 15 hr days 6 days a wk & made every item we used: texts, quizzes, tests, readings, hw, activities...

        What part of History was left out? That’s on the Curriculum Team that chose the texts. You are a conscientious educator. You take the time to prepare for class. One might argue you could spend less time and get the same results. You wouldn’t be proud of that though. 1/2

        I guarantee I wouldn’t get the same results. My kids had a great atmosphere, loved being in class, every student met the goals the district set for them (I had no idea the district did that until the end of my first year), and I had the highest standardized test results.

        But you’re right, I wouldn’t be proud or okay with that. I put my heart into it. I don’t know any other way.

        Text books need to be eliminated. Schools need to move toward eBooks which are easily and frequently updated. Printed textbooks are costly and not replaced... as shown here, for 25 years and counting.

        I had one working computer and shared a cart of 20 chrome books with 12 other classrooms. I had 35 students do some had to share. We had to sign up a week in advance and of course there would be a few missing when it was your hour on your day, but ok.

        Have there been real budget cuts to education or just a reduction in the amount of increased funding? Could less money be spent on pensions for retired teachers and more on school supplies and books?

        Yeah, let's just not pay the retired teachers what they're owed after spending most of their working lives serving the public. My mother is retired public school teacher. If you cut her pension, she's screwed because she doesn't get Social Security.

        Progressive taxation is better than the supply-side economics and tax cuts for the rich system of today, yes.

        So you think teachers should be spending money on classroom supplies instead of making sure schools pay for it? How do you expect to fix anything with 25 year old books?

        How much money goes toward standardized testing and what gets short changed? Class size, infrastructure, technology, books and supplies! Can't blame this one on teachers.... we're doing our best with what we're dealt.https://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2012/11/29/13testcosts.h32.html …

        Thank you for asking that question. We test four times a year. Every year the government has to “reevaluate” the test. <- money that could be spent on schools, and not tests.
