So, after reading this, and I don't post a ton I cannot help but give everyone the correct information - AS HUSBAND OF AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PRINCIPAL IN TEXAS.
It is not the school or teacher's fault, don't go at them. It is YOUR fault (now before everyone blasts me keep reading).
The teachers are the only following the rules set forth by their employers - the school district. Just like you have rules to follow at your job, so do they. Break a rule, get in trouble, written up, loose your job, etc.
A no. 2 pencil is a no. 2 pencil, don't sweat that part. For the nicer things your kid picks out write their name on it, 99% of the time they will get it. It is not the over worked, under paid teacher's responsibility to keep track of 200 red folders or 200 folders with princesses and who's is who's.
Back to the YOUR fault - you elected the politicians that set the rules the teachers have to follow, don't blame them, go be active and elect someone that will fix the issues in a manner you desire.
Most of all remember this - yes you are a tax payer, the teachers work for you but they are people as well, treat them as you would like your boss to treat you. THEY ARE NOT PAID TO RAISE YOUR KIDS, they are paid to teach them. You are responsible for raising and instilling in your children the ability to ask for their items, to behave in class, etc. Remember, God put us here to teach, guide, and raise our children. He is very clear on this, humans are inherently wrong and bad - did you teach your children how to say "mine"??? But you do have to teach them to apologize and behave, correct? Go with the attitude that my adult - college degree educated professional is correct 99% of the time, and my child is probably embellishing ("mine") to keep from getting in trouble and miracles will happen for you.
My wife has her own family and children to raise properly. Remember these teachers (99%) of them care deeply for every child, care for them in the same manner and you will be amazed at the results.Last edited by JSeabolt; 10-04-2019, 09:00 AM.

You will however still have to pay taxes for crap you don't use, but that is what people keep voting for so not much you can do about that.

Not my fault, as soon as someone says, "it's for the children" I know to vote against it, and try to get others to do the same. I swear though, around here people vote for every public funded that comes up and most call themselves conservative, but consistently vote for spending other people's money, especially if it comes with the false moniker of, "it's for the children"

The rich and poor often make the same amount of money. The rich are ask FAR more as in your example. The poor blow every penny in too many stupid ways to list yet they are not held accountable AT ALL, which is pure BS.

I told the wife to send him 1 of everything on the list with his name on it.. I'm not buying printer paper when I pay so much in school taxes.

My son is in 3rd grade, this is the kind of thing I tell him to handle himself. If it matters to you, speak up and get your Dallas Stars folder back. He missed out on something like that in 1st grade, and got it fixed. He always winds up with his baseball/football pencils, erasers, binders since then.
Tell her if it's important to her, to speak up.

My son starts kindergarten next school season and will be attending a new school in our area, that was just given all the problem kids from the bad side of town in hopes to benefit the troubled kids. Trust me when I say we are ready for ANY type of socialist/unfair bull**** they try to teach our son. NOT HAPPENING.

A special needs child changes the whole dynamics of a family, everyone in that family makes sacrifices including siblings. Could be those siblings have no choice but public schools and riding the school bus. Pride can go along ways in a working man's family and aint no one wants a handout. I'm sure you get the drift.
A parent that is diagnosed with cancer and the family is over whelmed with bills from co pay and or bills the insurance does not cover. Things happen.
I understand what you are saying, but every horse aint got the same spots.

She called this morning, we cleared it up. My daughter will be getting her supplies back next week. As mentioned above she buys and reuses supplies. She thought most students wouldn’t have their supplies ready the first day of school so she used her binders instead. I told her if she needed more supplies from my daughter and if a underprivileged kid needed something or even she needed something to let me know I would take care of it. She was happy with that, I’m glad it was handle between us and not taken any further than it needed to be.
