My wife bought $100 worth of clothes for her student this year. The kid was coming to school wearing the exact same clothes everyday and being teased constantly. You can try putting a stop to teasing/bullying/etc but you can't be watching at all times. She found some 2nd hand name brand clothes from friends and then spent $100.00 for some more. Then discretely gave them to her so no one would know. Above and beyond for sure but when she tells me the story I fully support it.
I'm not sure why she did it if it was to stop the bullying, just felt sorry for the kid, or the smell but I think that the majority of people who become teachers do it because they have good hearts and want to help people/kids, oh and barely work and get summers off too.
