School supplies are a major pet peeve for me! I have waited for the list because the teacher didn't have it done, only to miss the sales and have to spend a dollar for the notebook vs .10 cents. Then I have bought every item the teacher requests on the list only to have 1/2 returned to me at the end of the year unopened/unused.
I have also bought back up notebooks for my child, at the teachers request, for her to keep in her cabinet only to get a call when my sons current notebook needs replaced. I ask where the other two are and they say they don't know; did I bring them in? So I go in and bring in a new $10 dollar notebook only to look around and see two kids walking around with the notebooks I had already provided.
o this year I am done. I stocked up, during the sales, on the t hings I knew he would need, papers, pens, colored pencils,subject notebooks and anything else they will have to request in person. It may sound harsh but after 10 years of filling a teachers wish list only to have so much of it given away or wasted I refuse to do it again. ... View related article.
