    What’s on shopping lists this school season? Parents plan to spend the most money on clothing and accessories for their kids (44%), followed by groceries and food (17%), school supplies (16%), electronic devices (8%) and after-school programs (8%). Speaking of – after-school programs, such as sports and clubs come with their own price tags, setting parents back even further.

    Helpful context left out of the title and snippet.

    More than half (53%) of parents said they planned to shop Amazon Prime Day sales

    Do these people realize Amazon slowly creeps up the price before these sales so they can drop them back to normal and make it look like a good deal? All retailers do this shit.

    Fuck, schools were chronically under-funded when I was in K-12, but their budgets just continue to get tighter each year. Parents and teachers are buying supplies for the classrooms that should be provided by the school.

    "You're required to go, but we won't provide the necessities for your studies." Look ahead and they'll make it voluntary (and even more expensive) to attend after elementary school so they can shove the older kids back in their mines and McDonalds.
