I know, I had a discussion and I usually get everything on the ‘wish list’, but they would have to be satisfied one item for each kid (3).
I was happy to notice that they stopped the crazy demands this year with “3 ring binder 1 1/4 with pocket and 7 tab dividers”, etc...
It made me regress to my younger days to see a school supply list that said “Folder. Paper. Pencils. Pens (or crayons for the youngest)” Oh yeah, and graph paper for my soon to be highschooler.
What I don’t understand is why, when so much is spent per child on taxes for education, why the parents have to buy paper, pens and binders? You’d think almost $10,000 per child would include paper and pencils.
