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

[csb]

boo, got the specific teacher request supply list yesterday...the store was out of some of the new items wanted.

when they saw label the supplies does that mean each individual crayon or just the box? I don't have time to put minisnicks name on 96 crayons, 20 markers, 8 pencils etc...

I feel like this is an uniquely engineer kind of question.

here's another one for you...

one small supply box, the cubbies aren't very big.

how small is small?

she said box, so the zipper pouches are out

she said supply box, not pencil box so it would have to be bigger than those narrow boxes

Well, how do they want them labeled? Some are already labeled - purple, blue, #2, etc.

However, if the intent is that each crayon, marker, and pencil be traceable by heat/lot number or child's name, you have a few issues. One being that coining/embossing of those items is pricey, the other being that there is a significantly increased lead time on those items.

If opting for adhesive labels, you are likely to have adhesion issues on waxy products or those which utilized a mould release. In the event that the supplies are subject to improper storage and segregation methods, now you're setting yourself up for a situation where the origin/custody of the supplies are indeterminate, and will likely need to be scrapped, or at a minimum, restricted for use to lower safety class arts and crafts projects only.

It's not in the Standard Specs. Kindergarten has project specific specs which are usually listed in the original bid documents.

Based on what snick said, the teacher failed to include the special provisions that were supposed to accompany the box, marker and crayon line items in the bid schedule. I'd be ashamed to put my stamp on that.

My nieces are homeschooled and I feel bad for them. they are very awkward... they have no concept of time or urgency, but this is because my sis-inlaw lets them wake up at noon and maybe start their lessons by 1:00pm or so and she is very loose on when things get turned in. The oldest is a sophmore but still homeschooled, they gave her the option to go to high school but she wanted to stick with homeschooling because she didn't want to get up a 6:30 am. I have asked numerous times about the social part and also about what is going to happen when she goes to college or even when she goes to get a job and has to wake up and be accountable for things. their respose is always, she figure it out, we know a few homeschoolers who went onto college and they are just fine.

I think most will be fine in the long run, but I think people should try and get them integrated in before middle school in all reality..

Our neighbors are from Sweden and they home school their boys (middle school age) and I think in a year I can count the number of times I have seen them outside, which is very weird cause our neighborhood is like a massive roller derby on the weekend with all the god damned kids around..

My younger son tried to get them to come out to hang out and they just peered out of their windows and wouldn't open the door.

Also I do not ogle (all the time) when their Swedish mom when she is hanging out at her hot tub

 

[engineergurl]

you live in a neighborhood with hot tubs? you must be rich....

Have you informed her that it is customary in the US to go into the hot tub nekkid?

So far all we have had to stress about for our HS kids is finding a TI 84 POS calculator- we should have gotten one earlier in the summer so its like the day before Christmas shopping trying to find one..

I don't ever remember "snack time" in school unless it was someones birthday (until about 2nd or 3rd grade) or in like 4th and 5th on Friday's we would have popcorn as a reward.
