How do I know this happens? Because I did it.
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.
