>>the average teacher spent at least $485 on school supplies for their classroom last year.<<
Sooo...roughly $50 a month? I’d hazard a guess that most people incur out of pocket expenses for their job.
>>You cant expect a teacher to accept less pay for more work than their peers, and then reach into their pockets to fund your childs classroom,<<
Happens in the private sector all the time when budgets get tight. Suck it up and roll with it, buttercup, or get another job.
