“Does the Average Teacher Spend ‘Nearly $500 a Year’ on School Supplies?”........
NO, not your “average” teacher however, I personally know of several that DO JUST THAT. I have two grand daughters and know several acquaintances all who are teachers that actually do spend their own money on schools supplies, etc. for kids and in some cases clothing for them needed for special school related events, etc.

I think that is nice of them, but I don’t believe they should get raises because THEY want to be charitable.
I know a few teachers as well, what they call “supplies” is often beyond the basic needs of students, stuff like seasonal (and general) decorations.
Teachers don’t even work a full year. They need to quit their griping.
