I don't mind buying what my son needs to go to school, but when I am told that I must buy dry erase markers, flair pens, reams of copy paper, and 100 real wood pencils(my son couldn't use this may pencils in the whole school year), I wonder what exactly they will be doing with all this, because I know that my 5th grader will not have use of these things personally.
In addition, we are told to purchase six bottles of germ X, six containers of disinfecting wipes, five rolls of paper towels, cans of Lysol.
I understand that they want to keep illnesses down, but doesn't the county in which I live have any responsibility to provide a clean environment for the school children?
I have only one child, what in the world do people who have 2, 3 or even 4 kids in school do? How can they afford this?
