I only see one type of parent saying they're NOT gonna buy school supplies

they already take a chunk out of your paycheck for that. what are they using that for? keeping the women's softball practice field lawn cut? Use that money for school supplies. We need to find where these tax dollars are going if these schools can't afford to buy pencils and paper.

Well, school budgets are funded by property taxes. At least I think in most areas.

So if you live in a poor district and your schools are poorly funded, someone’s going to have to come out of pocket.

In some situations, maybe there’s mismanagement of revenue. But that’s something to fight about at local government meetings.

I think the people who balk at contributing anything toward school supplies are probably the people who aren’t actively engaged in their child’s education. Probably most people just send their kids to school and don’t really give a shyt what they learn or if they have the tools necessary to do their best.

Most parents care about education in terms of broad empty advice like “do your homework” and “get good grades” without actually reviewing and helping with any of it.

Hey look. If you’re struggling, people understand. I don’t think anyone is suggesting you buy 30 kids a stack of notebooks. But anything helps. I know a handful of teachers and they come out of pocket to try and teach and raise your kids the best way they can.

Also, vent this frustration about school supplies when you vote. Well, IF you vote…

Schools are indoctrination camps. They don't pay the teachers. They don't buy the supplies, and they tax the people to pay for it all. If you don't pay they threaten you with jail.

Yeah breh. It can't be more clear.

I will say this, if you're relying on that school to teach your child what they need, you are part of the problem.

It should be provided by the school :dahell:

I wouldn't refuse to buy what's needed to support my children, but I would look at it some type of way.

It's fukked up that we are not doing more to invest in our youth. And then we question when they do the sort of bullshyt you'd expect from people who don't have quality of self-respect needed to value their liberty.

This my thing, they tax us. But the don't buy the kids supplies and don't pay the teacher.
All our money just going to building upkeep? Then they are basically just daycare.
Might as well homeschool your kids
