If there are shortages, why the heck aren't parents asked to fill in instead of teachers? How all-encompassing does FREE need to be? The education isn't enough, now ALL supplies must be free too? And lunches and breakfasts? Shoot, why don't we just take the kids and hand them back at 18. Wait, that's what liberals are working towards. /s
Exactly. Many of my grandchildren are in Catholic schools and they need to bring in copy paper, tissues, paper towels and any number of items.
Depending on the teacher, some have the kids bring in all supplies at the beginning of the year. Other teachers go through the class alphabetically and get items on an as needed basis. That's probably the way to go in lower income areas.
