Every time I read the local news and see a teacher who was awarded a $250 grant for her classroom, I understand that she spent hours of her own time applying for it. Writing it. Going through a submission process.
For $250. For her classroom…
For $250. For her classroom…

I left teaching with a Master’s degree and 16 years of experience making $41,000 a year. I purchased classroom supplies every year because the state of Missouri refused to fund classrooms.

We need more Federal funds directed to our PK-12 schools, not less.
Suppliesas media specialist for 2 then 5 buildings. I wrote grants to get computers for my original 2 buildings .
It has always been the case that teachers are underpaid and undervalued and they work so hard to educate our precious children… the future of our country 🙏 praying for change.
Education is the cornerstone of any developed country. I just can’t fathom it. Teachers shouldn’t have to fund the equipment!!
Over $5000 per hour, 24/7. $50 million a year.
Nothing makes sense with compensation.
Any practical advice towards actually exploring such a move?
After 10 years. €48,000:00
The Principal is responsible for the purchase of school supplies. If anything special then the local parish will fund it.

Missouri’s failure to fund classrooms forced dedicated teachers like you, with 16 years of experience and a Master’s degree, to spend your own money while earning just $41,000. It’s disgraceful.
I earn $110,000 a year and didn't need to purchase any of my office supplies when I worked for the public service.
I'm now an independent contractor and earn more.
Your poor life choices are not my problem
The sad thing is, I get more recognition for the journalism.
It does not mean that labor unions are prohibited.
There are labor unions in all "right to work" states.
UNIONIZE. 💪
And wrong.
The system is broken.
It’s where the DEI hate comes from.
Wrap it up in “it’s the parents responsibility to get their kids a good education” and you make someone else the Villian.
We still export the best education money can buy, but it isn't free and citizens have to get in line and pay like everyone else if they want it.
Otherwise they get the "lite" version.
Common Core BS math took its place.
Now typical youth can barely count money,or do anything mathematically,without their phones. And they do not understand how important math is. Bureaucracy has been dumbing the youth.

Also I agree adjusting for cost of living provides important context.
When these numbers adjust for COL, the US may end up spending LESS via GDP & COL.

One thing only. He is a part of the Corporate Greed thing that wants no more unions in America. Hopefully, Union leaders got a wake up call the other day. Good Luck with that!
This is true of the uber-wealthy from everywhere else BTW.
They may not be our best and brightest.
Don't wanna do it? Fine, they revoke your license and you have to start at year ZERO to get it reinstated.
Meanwhile HS drop-outs man the legislatures of those states.
👍👍👍👍😎
Teachers deserve a good wage, teachers should not have to pay for classroom items for kids.
Teachers should not have to beg for $250.
Pay these people what they deserve to teach your children.
Primary and high school teachers: $95,000 to $105,000.
New graduate $87,550 to $125,763 for experienced.
I was actually wrong it's been changed.
Unions are protection for peoples security and wages.
The Labour party is all about unions.
People are not encouraged to join unions in the US.
And we don't tip because people get paid a good hourly rate.
Companies survive.
We have Medicare for all Australians universal healthcare.
Still wondering what the practical solutions would be to the issues of the original post - without regard to blue or red or whatever colors

Essay: I need supplies.
Processing...
Granted. Cash to be deposited in YOUR bank account, submit receipt for supplies purchased beyond $250 or return the funds. Thank you.
that should be what it takes.
No loans

Can't wait to get reacquainted with those Winters and near zero temperatures like the wind chills today?
I've given out thousands but who's gonna know w/o the Fanfare and public adulation/ publicity?
I wrote several grants in my first years to get help. Didn’t get a single one and gave up. So many hours wasted.
1) The CEO will understand the needs of the employees, and
2) knowing they will be an employee again at the end of the term, they'll ensure employees are treated fairly.
That was all I was trying to say
I find it crazy that such a wealthy country can underfund public education, and not provide the basic supplies needed for teachers to teach. 🤷♀️
Surely leading the classroom, evaluating, counseling, duties and corresponding with parents are more important.
We really don’t care about kids or education.

Here is a hint, spending your own time filling out an application form is no different than spending your own time filling coffee cups for the the local Cups-O-Plenty.
