Why did they study Hispanics? Does this amount include the government freebies for all the illegals?
I checked our local middle school supply list and found that adding in a decent backpack, the cost comes to $32. That cost could come down if you used supplies left over from years past. It isn’t likely they need new scissors or map pencils and such. Heck, I sent my old 4th grade crayons with our kids many years ago and still have the box.
As for clothing, I could dress the kids in garage sale clothing and they’d still be the nicer dressed. In high school, I let them supplement the garage sale items with clearance mall outfits and still came in <$100.

You bet your bippy it does.
