I'm sure you're talking about the elementary school lists, but last year when the middle school lists came out we ended up needing to buy 20 dividers! 20 dividers for 7 classes is a bit much. Each of the teachers had worked out, ok, I want one for comp, one for lit, one for grammar, it was insane! And of course, we didn't get these lists until after school started and Wal-Mart was completely sold out of dividers. Of course, I finally found some at OfficeMax and bought them, but the reality of the situation is that they weren't used at all. I can't wait to see what they're going to tell us to get this year.<br>KCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-284843995363084436.post-64095647945338656202007-08-13T11:37:49.000-05:002007-08-13T11:37:49.000-05:00I love school supplies so much I will probably be ...I love school supplies so much I will probably be the parent that sends my kid to school with WAY more than what they need. I am with you though - the sad thing is those are probably many of the same parents who view school as a convienent free babysitter.

Since I taught high school, I just gave extra credit when students brought extras like tissues, hand sanitzer, and other things. Doesn't work so well for elementary school though! :-)<br>Jennerhttp://web.mac.com/jenloizeauxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-284843995363084436.post-6379707803172800442007-08-13T06:01:07.000-05:002007-08-13T06:01:07.000-05:00well you already know my opinion since you stopped...well you already know my opinion since you stopped by my desk that day to vent LOL<br>I agree -- buy the stuff and keep the teacher happy.

They have an on-line ordering for school supplies. I just point and click for which grade, (about $50.00), pay with credit card and the supplies show up at school on the first day. It's awesome. Now granted, I sort of want to take her to Target to pick out supplies like when we were little...nah....good luck!<br>jenniferhttp://www.aeigetcovered.comnoreply@blogger.com
