1st of all - LOWER income community's " certainly Is not referring to places such as Portland…Read More or East Hampton so I'm confused why the writer implies it does since clearly it doesn't ! the other comment the writer chooses to include is "society lets kids down" referring to not allocating enough $$$ for supplies or education ..... THIS is JUST CRAZY !!!! on a Larger Level the USA throws more $$ at education thinking it will make a difference when it will not - and the results show it... 2ndly - has anyone that agrees with this Assertion actually ever looked at the Budgets these school systems receive ? it's clear that the majority if our tax $ goes to educators and the system - and it's mainly comes down to a few simple things when we talk about why teachers are taking cash outta their own pockets to buy supplies. it has NOTHING to do with not having the $$ it comes down to - the educators and Dept Leads NOT planning correctly. if they had planned correctly and put it in their HUGE inflated budgets they wouldn't have to go buy things .... Also it cones down to the administrators not working with the boards to put a system in place that if for some reason - something is needed - they have an Avenue To obtain it or get reimbursed for it Easily. So we really need To put a stop to continuing to put a slant on these types of stories - and just start stating the facts. the last thing I find VERY strange is that Nowhere the PTA is mentioned and What a great resource they are !!! The majority of the time these groups have plenty of $$$ ON HAND that they actually need to "" THINK of "" year after year what to do with it all...... they are great groups that really add to the overall assistance to the depts within the schools. last year alone for an example is that our PTO purchased over 1200 dollars in tee shirts for the 1st graders to wear at an Assembly as well as Utilizing their funds to purchase a $800 Color laser printer. So let's all take a step back and Realize Yes maybe our teachers are out there purchasing supplies however It is not due to a lack of funds with in the school systems budgets
