The fact that teachers have to purchase classroom materials at their own personal expense is a national embarrassment.
We're fortunate to have some teachers that go above and beyond to make sure their students' needs are met.
To add insult to injury, GOP's tax bill won't allow educators to deduct these out of pocket expenses from their taxes.
The recently passed tax bill will result in the tax burden of already broke grad students going up by as much as 300%, which would see their take-home pay drop by 25%.
Science and technology development has been the story of the past 100 years. The discoveries and innovations are progressing at a dazzling rate, much of this lead by researchers at universities in the USA. At these universities, a substantial amount of the work is done by graduate students, who work long hours (80 hours weeks aren't unusual) for little pay.
Teachers, who often need a masters, will also be discouraged from pursuing a career in education.
The GOP donor class send their kids to private schools, and a sizable percentage of GOP voters have been trained to despise education. This shouldn't come as a surprise.
We have virtually the sum of all human knowledge available at our fingertips. Schools are a hold-over of the past. Feeling bad for an industry who's time is past is silly. Like wagon drivers lamenting the automobile Those who wish to learn anything can do so on their own with little barriers in any way.
The only reason that schools exist is because parents need subsidized day care so that they can work to pay for the abominable confiscation of wealth by our government.

GOP is starving the public education system and discouraging higher education, which we particularly need in math and science.
Hmm, where are these teachers located? I'm just asking because for my kid's entire school careers I have been asked to not only buy my kid's supplies, but also many other items that might be needed in the classrooms. Kleenex, paper towels, crayons, markers, notebook paper, construction paper, copy paper, glue, the list goes on and on and on. Any science projects which required materials I received a note from the teachers with a list of stuff to buy for my children's projects. So seriously, what are these teachers paying for out of pocket?
PS. During elementary school my children's supplies were put together with all the other supplies brought in by other parents. Then, during the year, the supplies were dolled out communally to all students. So even if students didn't bring in their supplies, they were supplied by myself and the other parents who brought in the required supplies. So the teachers weren't buying the less fortunate kid's supplies either, the other parents were.

What can you learn in a public school that you cannot learn on the internet? What do you learn at the university that is not available on the internet?
Although, I personally did find SOME actual use when I went for mechanical engineering, as I didn't have access to all of the lab equipment in my home
whoa $250 max deduction? About the price of a pity party.
