Apart from anything else, why should teachers have to buy the tools to do their job?
Because for decades teaching has been marketed as ‘a calling’ not a job. People say things like, ‘teachers do what they have to’ or ‘no one goes into teaching for the money’ or ‘you might be the only person in some of these kids lives that care for them.’ These kind of phrases allow higher ups to continually slash teaching budgets while convincing teachers that they must fill the shortfall because of they don’t, who will? It’s bullshit.
People are in for a rude awakening after republicans get rid of public schools. You think buying your own supplies is expensive — wait until you get the bill for going to private school.
"Oh, you can't afford to send your child to school? Well the coal mines are always hiring if you need to get them out of the house."
Soon, an editorial headline:
Americans' bills are piling up; could chattel children be the answer?
See also: Republicans have repealed child labor laws, but is that really a bad thing?
The children, they yearn for the mines.
It's because Republicans really like the unwashed masses they're easier to manipulate.
Don't worry, we'll all be too busy reacting to actually take the time to reflect and learn something.
Much like nurses in the U.K., and their current pay battles. There are even former nurses saying “they should do it for the love of the job”.
They shouldn't. Education is critically and routinely underfunded because dumb people vote conservative.
There will be a point where people will wish that education standards hadn’t been allowed to fall so low…but as long as the rich keep getting richer, I suppose no one will care.
rich neighborhoods often pay $200+ per student per year for supplies.
poor neighborhoods just get by without supplies
I read that should as shouldn't and damn near had a ragefart.
The productive class vs the parasite class.
Teachers shouldn't be paying for teaching supplies in the first place.
Teachers shouldn’t have to buy their own supplies out of pocket to begin with.
I had a boss once who avoided paying taxes on his 49' sailing yacht by "donating" it to his church. It was then technically owned by the church (so no taxes, either transfer or property) but he still used it exclusively.
Religious country
If I were a teacher, I would not buy school supplies with my own money.
The unfortunate part is that then kids in your class would be missing out on school supplies. It's not right for teachers to use their own money for school supplies though.
That would be the schools and the parents problem. It would present a challenge to my job to find a way to teach without supplies, but I’d rather do that then spend my own money on my job.

Well, have a party or three with businesses clients on the yacht and you can write that off. However, I think the vast majority of people have their yachts registered under shell corporations, and that opens up a lot of opportunities for writeoffs.
We need to normalize burning them.
The uh....the rich or the yachts?
Both. Both are perfectly fine.
That wouldn't be good for the environment.
Compost them instead.
Or eat them, you know, many people are suffering from starvation
That makes sense. Cause further damage to the ecosystem in the waters and give the enemy ammunition towards painting real change makers as dangerous or destructive

It would still be a net positive for the environment tbh
If we’re burning yachts consistently? May I introduce you to forever chemicals?
And you skipped the important part about bastardizing the movement.
super yachts need a hole drilled
Scuba gear and a drill
Scuba diver and sailor here. Above a certain size, boats have watertight bulkheads and pumps to remove water, like fire hose levels of water. May I suggest a thermal lance? Works great underwater, cuts through metal better than a drill, and can cut a slice long enough to cut past multiple bulkheads.
