School & Pet Peeve. . .

[Melissa Burnell]

when I was growing up we NEVER bought anything but paper and pencils, pens, and the like.

The first year I spent almost $120 on my daughters school supplies, because here in Florida, the lists that go out early to coincide with the school sales are NEVER what the teacher wants.

I don’t think this is odd at all. I can remember growing up and my
parents buying us school supplies (I am in my 30’s). I never had a
school supply list that didn’t look the same as what I am seeing
this year for my kindergarten. In fact, it seems alot cheaper than
what my parents bought for us in the 80’s. We always had to have a
certain color folder or notebook and we ALWAYS had to supply
kleenex. Even in Jr. High we had to supply a box to home room.

My apologies, but it seems like it’s the way it has always been.
Truthfully, I don’t want the school district to raise my property
taxes with a reason of “paying for this stuff.” I’d much rather fund
it on my own terms.
