I wish schools would provide a budget for teachers so they wouldn't have to pay for supplies out of their own pocket.<br />It's crazy that all that tax money comes out of parents' paychecks to pay for public school education, but what does it actually pay for?<br /><br />As a homeschooling family we still pay into the public school education, even though we pay for our own homeschool curriculum, classes, tutors, and supplies, as well as field trips, lectures, and educational courses.<br />It's sure expensive, but we pay for it all for less than what the public schools charge parents for each student via tax money.<br /><br />Still I think public school teachers are way underpaid and under appreciated. <br /><br />~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052945428992934827.post-8522914823043234422010-08-21T13:07:21.329-07:002010-08-21T13:07:21.329-07:00I'm so thankful that our PTA puts together sch...I'm so thankful that our PTA puts together school supply packs and sells them so we don't have to run all over the place searching for things! Last week there was a news story about a local church that puts together a benefit each year for the kids so they can get supplies and back to school clothes. Any possibility of pulling that off where you live?<br /><br />I normally don't mind the heat so much but I haven't done as much with my horses as I'd like to lately either because I feel bad asking too much from them in 100+ degree heat! I suppose I'm just spoiling them and a little work wouldn't kill em though lolJennyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08354580752259815835noreply@blogger.com
