Are the "supply costs" due to cirriculum requirements? Due the teachers or school get a supply allowance? Does it cost them out of their own pocket because of the paper work involved to claim the expense? Due teachers want to come off as the cool ones so they go out and get fun stuff and for their students?
I have a pretty good friend who teaches grade 7 and 8, he set up a tea stand in his classroom and keeps it fully stocked, he did this at his own expense, is this something that should be covered by the school board? FWIW after Christmas he did start charging his students $1 each time they go for tea. I know he likes to come off as the cool teacher so he spends lots out of his own pocket on the kids.
