Buy 12 glue stick, 45 crayons, 6 reames of paper

Didn't you have that set up in the US?

Getting to be that time of the year again.  The districts online website listed teachers, so we know who minisnick will have.  But not being a lifelong townie haven't a clue about her other than she has been teaching since 2014, is a townie, and FBs a lot.  

The weirdest thing on the supply list this year is a "clean" old sock.  I assume it is for a dry erase board eraser since they asked for a package of fine tip dry erase markers.

my SIL with 6 kids posted a pic of one of their shopping carts.. lols

We avoided the trip this year.  The PTA here assembles packages specific to grade level and elective courses.  Judging by the price, they're making a little money on it but I'll grant them the profit if it means I get to avoid that shopping trip.

Same here, but it is through a vendor.  The cost isn't that much more.

We get off easy in HS- mainly just have to buy a POS Texas Instrument Calculator and some paper /3 ring binders - do. Not miss those days...

Heh. Clean old sock.

I didn't know they taught that in elementary school these days.  Huh.

You don't remember the puberty talk? My kid came home with a booklet this year that included a line about how it might feel to touch the nether regions.

I'm sure the average preteen/teenager has never touched their junk before.  Thank goodness for pamphlets.

I just used some passive aggressive techniques.. like wait till they know about "the deed" and then I would just tell them they are not bringing me a baby home- it will be there's! and remind them how bad it will suck to work at Kroger the rest of your life while your friends are in college

My mom said, "I hope you're not doing anything stupid"

My mom was an NICU nurse in Watts (yes, as in Watts riots) for most of her career. Every day starting from when I was 14, she'd come home with a story about some teen mom she had to counsel that day and how the poor girl would probably never get to go to college or have a decent future. It didn't occur to me until I was an adult why she kept coming home with those types of stories.

Back when they wore "the outfit"?
