Every year, the school supply list gets longer and longer. When will it ever end?

Momlogic's Amanda: When I got my two
kids'
elementary school supply list this year, I
couldn't believe it. It was a mile long!
I know states are making budget cuts, and I also know that I am
lucky I am able to send my kids to public school. But the things they ask you to buy on this
school supply list is ridiculous.
Forget pencils and notebooks ... now they have you bring Glade
Plug-In refills, reams of copier paper, boxes of Kleenex, and
antibacterial soap.
I am NOT suggesting teachers pay for this stuff out of their own pockets
... but can't our tax dollars pay for some of it?
The grand total for my kids' school
supplies: $186, or $93 a kid. What about the parents who can't afford that?
Did your kids' school supplies cost a small fortune? Tell us
about it!
