I’m one of them. Every teacher I know and work with does this. Not the norm for the vast, vast majority of professions.

Why don’t you just not buy the supplies and teach without them?
-
Why don’t you come give that a try and let us know how it goes?
-
So my students that literally live in shelters with parent(s) that can’t afford school supplies should go without notebooks, folders, writing utensils, etc.? Teaching them writing should be a piece of cake for me and them without those supplies. You’re a pedagogical Einstein.
-
So then you admit you buy them supplies to make your own job easier. You know you’re their teacher and not their daddy right? All you have to do is teach them the best you can with the resources provided. If you want to shell out extra money that’s your choice.

Your logic is fantastic.

He’s a MAGA guy. I know, what a shock.

I’m floored by the idiocy of his comments. But, I’ll teach on in hopes of preventing this mindset in my students!

So why is it that as a parent I buy two boxes of pencils when my child uses 2 pencils per year. Etc...
-
I need your kiddo in my class...my students go through two pencils a week!
-
2 a week, is still very conservative, I swear these kids are eating pencils, drinking glue and bathing in paint
-
For real though! I pulled out new colored pencils for a project Tuesday and they are nubs now.

Welcome to Trump MAGA world. The education system designed to leave all child behind.

I’ve bad news, it’s been happening for well over a decade or two.

This has been happening for many decades. I taught in the 1970s and early 1980s and spent lots of my own money despite making less than $15,000 per year (less than $9000 my first year).
