A little upset

[ATXRaider83]

My wifes an elementary teacher. At the school she teaches it's a policy that's enacted by the higher ups. She hates the socialist bs but the second the parent that didn't buy **** comes up and cries about something a new policy is made.

Yep happened to my daughters. Someone else their supplies we bought. I was ******.

It starts with school supplies and ends up with the guy at the deer lease who brings a warm 6 pack of Keystones and then proceeds to drink a case of the good cold beer from someone else's cooler. he wonders why nobody drinks any of the warm Stones.

Well with 2 teacher income in our family. Elementary school is a whole different animal than middle or high school is.

My kids are in 1st and 2nd grade. When we brought our supplies to school on meet the teacher, they all went into big bins for the class. As long as the kids have what they need to do their work, then I am happy.

Yes my wife teaches elementary and I teach highschool. I have been teaching either Ag or Welding for the last 14 years. Yes it sucks that every year it seems my budget gets cut, and the football team gets new uniforms. I could be ****** about it everyday if I wanted to---I have to choose to be here for the kids and teach them something that will help them the rest of their lives. My wife has spent lots of money on her room, goodies for the kids and so on. Yes I wish she didn't, but those are "her" kids and thats what she does for them. She has gotten better about spending our money, but it still happens.

Teaching is the easy part of our profession. There is no teacher shortage---There is a shortage of people that will put up with all the BS that they keep adding to us. Ask any teacher how much time they spend during the day taking care of "non teaching" things.

My wife teaches 2nd grade they do the put all supplies together and even distribute, her schools emphasized standard color folders to help prevent your case From happening I understand your frustration, buy your child nice things you want them to enjoy them but I promise her teacher has way more to worry about and focused on than making sure everyone get their exact folder.

if they would just budget a little better, give up their new iPhone....

They all have a cell phone but some can't bring in $10 in supplies.
!

Do you all realize that cellphone companies give iPhones away for "free" so that's not a good indicator of disposable income?
I have given old phones away.
My job requires me to have a phone so I have the iPhone 11 coming and two perfectly fine iPhone 10 I can give away to whoever wants them.

Screw that crap

Apparently you have a young one and many more years to put up with this crap

Next year don’t buy a **** thing

Wait until about the end of the first week and then get what your child needs and write their name on it multiple places with a permanent marker

We never fell for that crap after the first time they pulled it

If kids need school supplies then let the school district buy them
If they can spend millions on stadiums, indoor practice fields and all that other stuff that is not necessary for education then they can buy school supplies easily

If I know of a family that is in need I will gladly contribute to help their kids get the necessities though

I always wrote my kids name on all school supplies I sent to school with them. Everything! One year a teacher asked to not put names on anything. I informed her that I paid for them with MY money, they items belonged to MY child, I could put My kids name in them. She kept her stuff.

I have a iPhone 8 Plus I won’t mind upgrading to one of your 10’s. Lol

[Welding Teach]

I just upgraded from a iphone 5 to an 8 plus last year--I am going places!!

[critter69]

We do lol, there’s probably a Emily in her class with a unicorn binder that says Kaelyn on it.

No I am pretty sure they just cross out Kaelyn with black marker and write Emily underneath it. I know that’s what they did at our kids school.

^^^Thats a joke. Really a great offer. I just hate changing phones.
