I'm in NY and my daughter's schools just recently put out their "school supply lists" -- what students have to have for each class and supplies they "share" like tissues, whiteboard markers, colored pencils. My kids are in high school and Jr High.
It cost me $206 for school supplies! And we spend about $17,000 per year per student in this district! Wayyy over taxed!! My parents couldn't have afforded this for 4 kids.
I told the Superintendent this was ridiculous. She tried to steer me to a "charity" group that could help me get the supply's. I said I'm not in need of charity, I think you're wasting our money! She told me not to worry, when school starts they'll have some free supply give-a-ways! How dense! I don't need your $$, I need you to stop wasting money that isn't yours!
Why the hell do they need calculators?
Some cities are being enticed to accept Meeshell’s food crap with bribery of $$.. free meals for all children....
I heard Baltimore or some place told them to stuff it.
Reply to self: never mind—for calculation of basic trig functions I suppose they are better than carrying books of tables.
You would still have to pay your property taxes, which hopefully aren’t $17,000. But, by pulling your child out of public school, they lose that $17,000.
Like my grand daughters’ school. They ask for way over the amount of supplies each child needs (e.g., 5 packs of 48 count #2 Ticonderoga pencils) because the teachers give the extra supplies to the illegals’ children that have flooded our schools. Look at any bus stop near an apartment building anywhere in your state or county. They are overwhelmed with illegals’ children.
And when they are all normalized (how Rubio weasel words Amnesty) they will STILL be getting free sh!t as citizens and will be eligible for many more entitlements.
They really push it here. I’ve had them tell me in the past to just fill out the form even if I think we don’t qualify. I can read. I know we don’t qualify and I wouldn’t do it even if we did!!! That certainly isn’t the norm though in these parts.
Simply REFUSE TO OBEY !
We’ve just spent over $1,000 for school supplies. On top of already having paid taxes for our local school district. We homeschool ...
Your kid needs #2 pencils, erasers, probably a pack of colored pencils, a blue medium tip ink pen, 3 ring binders, lined paper, folders, calculator, gym clothes and a backpack. Your kid might also need a ruler, protractor, compass, headphones and thumbdrive.
Hell....they have computers in first grade.
Before I wised up and sent my children to Catholic school, I never bought any of the crap that was intended to be given to parasites. Just a few essentials for my own children.
None of the public school goons ever said a word to me about it. I was kinda disappointed in that, cause I had a few things I wanted to tell them.
Just this week here in Pinellas County, Florida, I saw a big white school district van, with a sign on its side advertising free breakfasts and lunches all summer. The van was parked at a McDonald's and about 10 middle-school age children and a couple of adults were getting out and walking into it. And I thought Moochelle didn't want the kiddies to eat fast food on the taxpayer dime.
It is the worst kind of racism in my opinion. The poor (read illegals’ children and minorities) are just so needy the bleeding heart teachers and administrators have to steal from parents to provide the little needy with the best opportunities they can give them. Where do they get it? They steal it from little white kids who they are assuming it’s okay because their parents are privileged whites.
The sad part of it all is that the children they wrongfully help grow up thinking they are entitled to stuff like this all their lives.
lol.ignoring their own signs on their own bus.
They didn’t get on you because what they are doing is illegal in my opinion. They have not one iota of justification of requiring you to provide your child with all of that when they are taking it and giving it away to other children. It is patent theft in my opinion.
After that...My 3 kids attended a terrific Catholic school. They are awesome working & contributing members of society with good morals, good hearts and I couldn't be prouder.
There is more than just the sharing of supplies going on. The schools are training the children to think of redistribution of wealth as normal. It's a not so subtle way to teach them that the interests of the state supersede individual freedoms.
