Just today had a conversation with gd, my ggd is entering 1sr grade...how time does fly--a whole different topic-- but anyway, she told me her friend is a janitor(politically incorrect?) at a local school and he knows from experience that at end of school year all those left over supplies that parents are required to purchase at the onset are thrown out.....why, I want to know! Should be a more positive solution to that...like a school store managed/operated by parent organization might be useful. Or just carry over for next year and cut list of what parents must contribute, or some other creative way of using not just tossing!
and she did say her list was asking for 30 sharpened pencils among other ridiculous things. My question why not just have a pencil sharpener. Oh, I am so happy I'm pasted that time...I would have been a troublemaker!
