Somehow it did not make it home. (The cashier didn't bag all our stuff and we must have missed it when we finished bagging for her.) Noticed it wasn't in the bag when I did a last minute check two days ago (school starts tomorrow). Both Targets are out. Walmart is out. The office supply store is out. Michaels doesn't carry it. I ordered some on Amazon finally ($2.97) but it will not get here in time.

My youngest child is 14, when he went to school in the UK at 11 he had to have a dictionary (supplied when I was at school) coloured pencils (not required when I went to school)an atlas (provided when I went to school by the state) and some folders to keep his work in...and a geometry set. Have there always been these requirements? Or is this a new (cost-saving?) thing? It would drive me nuts too, if I had to supply all this - what next? Bring your own lavatory paper?Schmoozyschlepphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11056416598803334346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36516879.post-66661058741968449602012-08-04T18:18:49.329-05:002012-08-04T18:18:49.329-05:00I feel you.
