Parents, nuts in a vice and not wanting their kids to go to schools without dry erase markers and be disciplined for "failing to provide the required materials", pony up.
Then theres the teachers other list, of other shit..like kleenex and clorox wipes and ziploc bags and snacks and folders and pencils and pens and chalk and glue, etc. Parents, again.
-Then-....they have the fundraisers, and the mlm ponzi intros for children, and the 10x markup bric a brac sales.....and 50cent "smencils".......and the Kona Ice in the cafeteria....and.......tickets to the "hayride" at the "fall festival"....and....
I simplified for the sake of brevity. With one just done a couple years ago and one still in the system, I'm quite well aware of how it works. I would call it a scam, but it's more a scramble for the basics. Worst part is, it never covers the shit they really need, like science textbooks less than 10 years old or history books that contain recent history. How the fuck can we call any of the HS classes AP, when they're at least 10 years behind the rest of the developed world?
