Not saying the OP has done this (at all), but some of these responses make it clear that many people will/would believe a story their young child tells them without confirming with the teacher.
And we wonder how we wind up with so many helpless adults....

They do the same crap where we are.. I don't see how any teacher has to come out of pocket with the amount of pencils and packs of paper on the list.. they tried to put printer paper on the list this year.. 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 youngest is in Kindergarten, and like we did with our older one, we ordered his supplies through the school. On meet the teacher night we made sure it was there and the teacher said it was but on the first day it goes in a big pile with everyone else's and gets passed out as needed. We're not in a school where many of the kids won't bring supplies but if a kid uses a glue stick I paid for when his parents didn't bring one I'm not losing sleep over it.
My parents had to buy three boxes of Kleenex every year as part of my supplies. I've never blown my nose once in 36 years.

yeah i would not be a happy camper either.
Our education system sucks, teachers are awesome people being set up to fail by the system. 4 years ago my wife started teaching in a not so great part of a different town but she loved it and felt like she was making a difference in some of their lives. A few months in she came home with bruises from one of the boys hitting her. She reported it but admin did nothing and it happened a few more time same outcome. Went in to year two and it was deja vu, 2nd time she came with a little shiner bc when she knelt down one of them punched her. Told her I would be attending class the next day and dad was getting an arse whipping when he dropped the kid off and then the principal was next, I don't hit my wife and no one else will either. She started crying and begging long story short she no longer works in education but coaches privately. Really wish our society still had a backbone

Originally posted by 6.5CM View PostI don’t mind helping others I enjoy helping and sharing but the school has donation boxes and supply drives throughout the summer. The kids get excited to get their cool supplies, glitter glue scented pencils or whatever lit is they like lol. Like stated above I live in a city where parent priorities are all kinds of screwed up there’s money for everything else but school necessities. And I literal LoL’d in the Kleenex part.
