WTF school! $100 stipend for the entire year is not nearly enough to buy all the stuff we need. I basically blew through that after buying sticky notes and dry erase markers.

WTF,Carey that's terrible! I've been dreading going back to school to set up my room because I have no idea what supplies my principal will have approved off of my budget. I'm sorry!

That sucks. Ours WAS $100, and then they said that this year they were taking $25 out for paper, to bring us down to $75. THEN, I've heard rumors that we're all going to be allotted a case of paper for the year. That's 10 reams. I teach math!!! I go through 2 reams every time we have a test. I'll be done with a case before 9 weeks is over. I'm unamused and hoping the rumor is not true.
And, $75 will barely buy me pens and paper. I've already spent more than $200 and I feel like I've gotten NOTHING. Grrr.
kandrze1 and vthokie it sucks! I'm glad we don't have to pay for paper-they threatened making us use a key code for the copier once but it never went through. We all end up spending a ton out of pocket by the end of the year!

Save your receipts so you can get some of it back at tax time. I never received a full reimbursement because I always had to spend so much on my classroom, but hey, every little helps!
