My child’s list says not to put names on supplies.

Don't let your child get too attached to those "Cars" notebooks or "Power Ranger" pencils, either, because on Day One the teacher will collect everything and keep it in a "community" supply.

The only supplies names are asked not to go on are tissues and hand sanitizers - everything else should have their name on it.

heck, we even have to supply 6 boxes of tissues and 10 reams of copy paper!

Not to mention pencils, pens, folders etc.

None of which my kids get. We have to buy those supplies on our own.

They go to underprivileged kids and the office.

Or maybe the school sells them off. I mean, if a school of 500 kids brings 10 reams of copy paper, that’s 5,000 reams! What do they do with it all?
