"Sorta a tradition to take my grandkids, school supply shopping, this year every item had a brand name underlined - it was a must. Funny, the kids said, “no way grandma why should we pay $2.99 for crayolas when we can get an off brand for $0.99. Love them"

As someone said in an earlier post, if we had any real journalists left, someone would be looking into this. What difference can it make what brand of pencil or ruler or notebook or crayon the students use?

If everyone brings in the same brand, then they can redistribute the supplies without some kid complaining that he got the off-brand while the other kid got the name brand.
