Comment what budget (Score 1) 532
my wife is a 3rd grade teacher and a few years ago went from 500/yr for classroom supplies to 250. she, rather I, spend between 1K-2K a year in supplies for the classroom. Just because she orders something doesnt mean she gets it. When the supplies come in she has to get hers first else they get taken by other teachers. She has to beg to get a clip of staples and only gets one at a time when she does. so this is why I spend the money to get her what she needs.
The business I work for supplies about 300/year now in paper, pencils, and markers. so that helps a ton.
btw, the feds only give her a 250 tax deduction for being a teacher.
so I think this ad thing is a great idea for businesses that dont know how to donate to a school or classroom, or that they even should or can donate.
hats off to this teacher for a great idea, but just waiting for some adult bookstore or church that will sue because they cant advertise...
