The school supplies are gone!

Remember when I was debating whether or not to take in the school supplies on orientation?! I took them in.

Guess who just called! THE TEACHER! Wants to know what I had brought in because the whole bag is missing from his cubby! ****! :evil::evil::evil:

Oh I'm so ****ed right now. What the **** does she expect me to do? Go out and buy all the supplies all over again. It ain't happening.

:evil::evil::evil::evil:

 

DH told me to wait until the first day to send them in. Now I get to hear it from him.

Oh I'm ****ed.:evil:

 

oh, crap! :boxing:

 

I would be up there right now, checking out other's supplies. :boxing::evil:

 

ugh. On the one hand.. it's just school supplies. And **** does happen. But still...

 

**** does happen. However, it's still a 'chap' factor. :evil:

 

I just called the school and they put me through to the teacher. She found it. Another student had taken it...by mistake.

Now... I need to let my blood pressure drop back down. :?

 

Well, at least it was found!!


(I labeled EVERYTHING!)

 

glad they found it! I would have been mad as fire!

 

thank goodness!

 

i heard a couple years ago that they ask everyone to buy extra supplies and that they just put all the supplies together and pass them out to whomever needs them. Is that still true in the elementary schools?

 

When I looked at the school supply lists, it asked for plain/no pictures and no labeling. Woops. I must have missed that part. :lol:

I am buying for my kid, not every other kid in the classroom. If you want extras, have a silent partnership or ask specifically.

 

I have never been asked to (not at Mcgees elementary, not at Dixon, not at McGees Middle), but I do buy extra supplies to send in for those that their parents can't afford.

 

Yes, this has been my experience in particular in the youngest ages (K-2) where they do a lot of coloring, cutting, pasting, etc. Often the teacher will have a big bucket of crayons in the middle of a group's table, for example. Not so much in the older ages where they just keep their stuff in their own desk. Still some of it can be shared (dry erase markers, baggies, tissues, etc...)

 

Last year my son was out of paper in October. I said - "what happened to all the paper I bought???" He said, "Oh the teachers collected it and passed it out." Oh no no no no... Extra supplies stay home from now on. Paper I paid 20 cents a pack for in Aug cost me 1.20 a pack in October. I was so mad!

 

yeah that is kinda the story i heard about too, maybe it is individual teachers that decide to do it?

 

Maybe, and in the past I could afford to get extras and would participate in collections - even backpacks and clothing. But that was specifically asked for and not done IMO underhandedly.

And my girl deserves pretty pink princess pencils for kindergarten - not boring yellow ones. :lol:

 

she surely does!!!

 

still blows my mind - kindergarten, dang time flies

 

I WAY overbought this year, prior to getting "the list". I've got too much stuff, but I paid pennies for it, so I guess he'll be using some of these notebooks and paper in high school, LOL.
