Its everywhere and the annoyance is it seems the same kids never bring for the communal supply of tissues, wipes etc but they are the ones using all of them...
My friend is a teacher and that is standard operating procedure. If you want to complain as a parent of one child think of how you would feel if you were the teacher. My friend spends a small fortune at the dollar store every year for supplies.
I get a kick out of anyone on LI prefacing a school/town complaint with anything along the lines of "for all the taxes we pay". Don't we all know where it's going by now? How buried in other issues do you have to be to not know where your money is actually going in this county???
The only reason I bring this up is I dont ever remember needing to buy communal school supplies. From k to 4th grade I was in Brooklyn/Queens public/Catholic schools. 5th grade to 12th grade was Great Neck public schools. I only remember only needing to buy school supplies for yourself. This was in the 80s to early 90s.
And with over 20k in property taxes, its my god given lawn guyland right to complain about taxes.
Used to make me soooo pistoff.
Every year the supply sheet got longer and more expensive.
It was a few hundred per kid every year.
And the oddball weird crap some of these "teachers" had on the list was ridiculous.
Thank satan my kids are out of school.
My kid isn't of school age yet. I don't care what the damn teacher wants. I will buy my kid his supplies and that's it. Not my problem or concern if Susie, Abe or Kabir's parent's cant get them supplies.
I don't know of any public elementary school on LI with central air conditioning.
