I remember as a kid in Texas, we had a shopping list supplied by the school that we had to have fulfilled by the first day of school. When we arrived on day one, our supplies were confiscated and redistributed. I never used the supplies that my parents bought. I always thought that that was kind of communist.
My child’s list says not to put names on supplies.
you must be young...(younger than i, anyway)...

Yep it is. Now a days we buy supplies for our grand-daughter and dole them out as needed. The teachers complain, we ignore them. I pay enough in property taxes as is for the Schools over 50% goes to them, and they’ve got their fingers in on my water bill and electric bill too.
I saw that coming when I had a kid in school. I sent him in with all cheap crap the first day, then a week later I resupplied him with the good stuff.
Kind of???
In my day (50’s - 60’s) we had a minimal shopping list and we all used it ourselves.
