Wheeled Backpacks Kids

school supplies (ridiculous don’t u think)?
My daughter is going into 1st grade and the kids k-4 are NOT allowed backpacks with wheels. They also need baby wipes, camera’s, tissues and paper towels. Along with ziplock bags. There are 33 kids in each class, how many of these items do they really use a year? How much do you think is left over?
Some teachers require the kids to have those fold up matts and they specify, “no roll up matts”.
Why do teachers do this. are they trying to make it hard on parents. Now, I am not by any means disgracing teachers, but I want to know why all the crazy demands? Wouldn’t it be better on the first day of school, to put all those wipes and stuff in a hat and let the kids draw? This way you don’t get too much and the parents can save $$ without haveing to buy all of it. I know there is some left over in the closest.
Yes some teachers ask for a lot of stuff. Try buying for 5 kids from kindergarten to a Senior in High School. It isn’t easy, but many of the office supply stores, Wal-mart, and Target have great sales for back to school. Some have limits on how many you can get like on paper. One store had loose leaf paper for 15 cents limit 5. So each child was given a $1 and 5 packs of paper, I did it, my mom did it, my sister, and husband. We got enough paper to last the year very cheap.
My sister is a teacher. I know she has asked for baby wipes in the past. This is to save trips to the restrooms to wash hands when working on a project. She has also asked for certain brands like for colors and markers. This is cause they work better on the paper they use and most the time last the entire year.
Many schools are banning backpacks with wheels because of injuries. They also damage the walls and floors. My middle schooler has to have a clear backpack – no wheels. This was not easy to find. But a little shopping around when out we found one.
You might think some things are silly on the list, but many times the teacher has found it comes in very handy.
