School Supplies and you
So this week, there have been at least a dozen 'groups'....come to me, and ask for money to buy 'needy kids', some of their school supplies.
School supplies? As in some kid doesn't have 3 dollars for a couple pencils and some notebook paper?
No no no ................See, each kid must have a backpack, a couple dozen different folders, special boxes for pencils, and various other supplies.
There have been several events, where the radio stations, or other groups, set up a remote, and take donations........I thought, how many fucking needy kids can there be? Why the fuck do they 'need' so much shit to go to school?
I'm already paying a fuckload extra in taxes because of school districts.......and you're telling me it's not enough?
I'm already paying taxes to fund teachers who can't educate kids........and you're telling me they need more?
Who makes up these 'lists', of 'needed' items?
So, instead of donating to the last group, I said we'd show up at the remote event, and hand deliver some supplies.
I went to the Family dollar store, and bought 4 backpacks, 4 20packs of pencils, 4 erasers, 4 boxes crayons-200 count, 4 boxes colored pencils, 4 stacks of notebook paper, 4 sets of 10 folders, 4 pencil boxes, 4 lunch boxes, 4 BIG ring binders, 4 boxes of red pens, 4 2packs of scissors, and several other items.
My total cost? 240 bucks.
And from the lists that the store had provided, showing what each grade would NEED for supplies......I didn't make a dent in it.
Now, it seems that 'poor' kids, get vouchers that may be redeemed at walmart or other places for supplies........'rich' kids, don't need vouchers.........that leaves this gap in the 'middle class', kids. Whose parents make just enough to keep them from the freebies.
And those parents, if they have 3 kids, are getting hit with a bill for about 600 dollars, in paper and pencil goods. That's gotta be rough on them.
WHY the fuck, are these union leeches we call 'teachers', so lacking in ability that they need to pass extra expense on to the parents of those they teach?
This is quite a fucking racket.
