Back-to-school lists are often long and specific.

They're often brand-name specific.

If you're not purchasing the supplies, it's very likely your child's teacher will have to — with his or her own money.

"Teachers don't want to ask for handouts. We just want to teach.".

Nicole Johansen : "No, we don't have to spend all that time and money on our classrooms, but it makes it a quality experience when your children have things like science experiments, books, art supplies, and a comfortable, cozy classroom environment" "We glue kids' mouths shut. They last like 12 seconds," teacher says.
