The following is coming from the teacher sitting next to me.
Most folders are color coded. All take home folders are a specific color, red, blue, vanilla....when kids show up the first day with folders that are not the required folders the teacher usually supplies them. They don’t come from the school, the teacher has purchased them. I promise the teacher does not want another princess folder. The school should have supplied a list of required supplies for the school year before school started.
After 18yrs of my wife teaching I have funded probably $1000’s of dollars worth of school supplies for kids I’ve never met.

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

She may be recycling the folders from year to year.
In to hear the outcome.

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....
