We are talking about a fake, coward Arab here. The only strap on he is familiar with has nothing to do with explosives...
I'm not sure that any of these people posting really understand how many parents don't take responsibility for their children when it comes to providing school supplies, making sure they are properly clothed and not ill, making sure their children have a good breakfast, a good dinner, do their homework, are getting enough rest, and just basically support the fact that their children are in school... and that they are an integral part of that schooling and have a responsibility to actually participate. Too many completely abandon their kids and their parental role when the kids walk out that door in August...until June...
"Why are you calling me? You're his teacher..."
Of course some are in need. But, it's not true to say they supply the kids if they don't have the money. Basic supplies to start the year aren't expensive...and there are multiple resource groups to contact to make sure your children are ready that first day. No excuse to drop that ball... That being said, not all support has to do with money...We take care of all of the kids...we don't blame them for what they're parents aren't providing. Ever....and often the support continues far after the kids are not in our schools anymore...
Are you an employee in the educational system, to make such judgements? Do you have any idea what teachers and staff spend each year on their students?
There is funding available for classroom supplies. That money is wasted on so many other things, however. That's been a problem for a very long time...
Student supplies are classroom supplies, btw...Just fyi...
The teacher can provide books, lab supplies, etc. provided by the system... However..... If the students in the classroom don't have personal supplies to work with, take notes with, for example, what good is a fancy textbook? Great that you bought your children supplies to be able to function in the classroom. So many don't. They are school supplies...from a pencil to a notebook to a textbook. A student can't function in the classroom if they don't have supplies....So, today, and for many years...paper, pencil, and the like are classroom supplies...Especially if the parent is not providing them...ask any teacher who is trying to teach students in their classroom who don't have them...Many teachers spend thousands of dollars each year to provide supplies for our classroom/students....
In addition, teachers spend a surprising amount of their take-home pay on classroom supplies and yes -- supplies for the children whose parents didn't provide them for whatever reason. You would think a real "teacher" would know this, eh? When my kids were in elementary school, we were lucky enough to be able to afford to buy a few extra supplies that they would give to their teachers for the kids who didn't have enough. My youngest is now a teacher herself. She spends her own money for both the kids' needs and for teaching supplies as well. Scholastic Books is a great partner that offers teachers discounts on stuff; that helps out a lot.
No, they are not. My daughter buys classroom supplies -- the posters and teaching things fastened to the classroom walls, dry erase markers, teaching toys and activities (she teaches early childhood special ed 3-5 yr olds), books for the little "library" in her classroom, etc. She also buys paper towels, Kleenex, cleaning supplies, Germ-X, etc. The school and the parents furnish none of that.
Classroom decorations and other non-essentials are items that are purchased at the discretion of the teacher.-the schools are not responsible for classroom adornments..Paper towels, Kleenex, cleaning supplies should be provided by the school. If not, they're wasting money on other things and dropping the ball. And many always do...look who's in charge of the budget and talk to them about why they aren't providing the basics ...the money they waste is criminal...
Most elementary schools send out a school supply list in advance of the school year that includes many more basics to be provided by the parents ( just google elementary school supply list) So that all participate. If the parents ignore that, then yes, the teacher is responsible for providing them. And they will...Thanks for supporting what I've said when I mentioned how much money teachers have to come up with for their students to have the best experience... Middle and high schools don't put out those lists, btw...They've given up on trying to get co-operation in many cases. So those teachers spend even more....
But Basic classroom/student supplies are one in the same...can't have a classroom without the proper supplies for all students to be able to function at their best... That was easy...

Teachers do not provide textbooks you BS artist. Let me guess... you didn't say textbooks, so I'm off base?
Don't? In many cases cannot. Thanks for being so judgmental. There are lots of people in America living hard scrabble lives.

I meant provide as in make them available to the students through the school. I figured that was obvious but go ahead and do your thing.
btw I actually said books, not textbooks so what was your point again?
Yeah, that is what it is about. ....stupid shit.
As I stated before...if you care about your kids, and you can't afford to buy them supplies, or food, or clothing or shelter... there are all kinds of resources to take advantage of...so many... It's free to provide the rest of the support that they need. No excuses...
(and honestly, if you aren't a teacher or retired teacher or in the schools every day...you really shouldn't be commenting on what's happening...because, you obviously don't know what's going on and what our schools deal with every day...for your kids, btw..it's one of the most challenging jobs in the world...any job, in any school...)

Total bullshit. Lots of people scramble to keep the lights and heat on. They have problems feeding the family. It is not about caring. You obviously know no poor people. Most Americans are one bad financial event away from being totally broke. corporate profits are at all time highs, and wages have not moved for 50 years. Even a person as dismissive as you about the poor, can figure out the top 1 percent kept the money for themselves. To suggest the poor don.t give their kids school supplies because they don't want to is insulting.
Whatever, fake teacher. lol Your self-righteous virtue-signaling lectures are the best evah. Say, how's the arts n craft n recipes and lectures going for Black History Month?
Tip: Your words will have more meaning when you actually use them to support school funding (even if higher taxes), teachers' salaries/benefits and the unions that help them achieve that, teachers NOT having to carry guns in schools, curricula that favors students rather than mandated test scores, etc. Oh, and when you stop mocking ppl for mental disabilities. And calling black students "thugs". There's a winner right there.
