Totally agree. I think the system is pretty broken right now when we expect teachers to pay out of pocket for teaching materials. The school boards should have a per student allowance for teachers out of their budgets.
I hate tax credits too, but I find the $1000 credit to be an extremely reasonable proposal, so while it's vote-buying, it also seems like it'd be quite effective.
