You people are nutsSee title. Step one after Harris wins (if she does) is that conservative/independent teachers STOP spending one red cent on anything for their classrooms.
ANYTHING.
The people don't want that; they want socialism. We should give it to them. No tissues, no wipes, no extra pencils, snacks or paper. No classroom treats.
"I'm sorry, the government does not provide that" to parents and students.
There is so much we can do.
A few key findings:
• Forty one percent of respondents described themselves as Democrats while another 30 percent said they were independents. Just 27 percent were Republicans.
But most public school teachers will spend a significant amount of out-of-pocket money on classroom supplies, an average of $673 per year, according to a recent survey of more than 1,100 educators by the Association of American Educators (AAE), a professional organization. While advocacy organizations including AAE are pushing for increased federal tax deductions to offset the amount that teachers spend on out-of-pocket expenses, some district leaders point to existing and sometimes untapped resources they say could help cover them.

Some district leaders say they shouldn't have to.
