      Buying school supplies is something I haven't thought about for so long that it never occurred to me that it's unusual or that there's a better way to distribute school supplies.

        What's even more nuts is that this goes for teachers, too. It's skilled labor, requiring years of college, in demand practically everywhere; yet the pay is shit and part of it has to go to stocking your classroom.

        Meanwhile, the school board members just voted themselves each a new, fully-paid SUV.

            What the fuck? That’s a new one I haven’t heard before. Where I grew up even if the admins skimmed every last cent they could there wasn’t anywhere near enough money going around to build a bowling alley regardless of who was allowed to use it.

      The only problem with that is if people have other needs. I.e. in terms of different paper or texture feelings etc. However this, too, is easier when you know the standard and can see if that fits you.
