She never followed any of the stuff on those school supply lists. She just got the basics and if the school didn't like it, oh well. I don't ever remember the lists specifying the brands. Maybe they don't do that here or maybe they just started that. I'm sure I'll find out soon since my daughter will be starting school soon. I'm not so worried about the school supply list as much as I am worried about the teachers getting on my nerves.<br><br>Take care,<br>JuliAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7246096290025572654.post-19212865306562386812004-07-30T03:05:00.000-10:002004-07-30T03:05:00.000-10:00I don't have kids to school shop for , but I know ...I don't have kids to school shop for , but I know what you are saying.

When I was in school we didnt have to bring anything but paper, pencils, folders and a backpack. Now you have to buy the toilet tissue and kleenex's things I think the school should supply and I am aloud to fuss because I work for an Elementary school. Hope you get everything you need Dorn and don't have to file Chapter 13 to do it. lol.<br>Have a great weekend.<br>MissyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7246096290025572654.post-13615262198551807062004-07-31T01:12:00.000-10:002004-07-31T01:12:00.000-10:00another reason to homeschool :-)another reason to homeschool :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7246096290025572654.post-67166516436788434842004-07-31T05:09:00.000-10:002004-07-31T05:09:00.000-10:00I will be doing this in a couple of weeks.

My family doesn't even go through that in a year, and there are four of us, so how is my son going to use four boxes of tissue in the nine months of the school year. This year they want them to bring a box of saltine crackers. Now I have heard that pregnant women should eat crackers and drink sprite for morning sickness, but he is 1.) male and 2.) not capable of getting pregnant. I haven't figured this one out, yet, but I have my suspicions. Last year there were at least three pregnant teachers, so maybe they are trying to stockpile the crackers for furture use. Last, but not least, from the School Supplies Horror Stories File I bring this disturbing story. One year my nephew's teacher required them to bring a disposable camera as part of their supplies list. Supposedly this was to be used to take pictures of him during field trips and special occasions at school. His mom got back exactly two photos of him at the end of the year. Now if I've done my math right there would have been a total of 576 pictures made (24 students x 24 pictures per camera). The whole thing stunk if you ask me. I'm all for paying the teacher more money, but sometimes I think we are just being taken advantage of so the teachers can have free paper products for the year. Heck half the time paper towels are a luxury item in this house. Anyway good luck all you "school" supplies shoppers. <br> Mary<br>http://journals.aol.com/munowe/CHAOSREIGNSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7246096290025572654.post-569974978847332662004-09-14T16:11:00.000-10:002004-09-14T16:11:00.000-10:00Geez!..thats crap!Geez!..thats crap!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
