SO TIRED OF IGNORANCE apparently has money oozing out of her. $200 a WEEK on kids activities! I think she takes up for the poor so much because she feels guilty and has no idea what poor is.
The rest of us cannot afford to spend what these overzealous teachers "require". What happened to "bring paper and pencils to class"? A child does not need $100 worth of school supplies to learn. And judging from the job the educators in Alabama are doing with our school children (are we out of the bottom 5 yet in the nation???) throwing money at them, $10 workbooks, and $20 worth of tissues and hand sanitizer is not helping.
SMART CHICK> PLEASE RE - READ THE POST> IT says when the kids are out for the summer I spend extra - 200 on GROCERIES. I dont know what the rest of your comment means. What I said was if you will read that with the extra groceries from them being home all day and their friends being there, plus activities that make summer FUN that I feel like I am saving money when they go back to school. EVERY parent with children spends more during the summer. I sware, if you "SMART" people would read the posts before you jump down someones throat you might not sound so unstable. Calm down, I will raise my children and you do the same, it was simply my point of view.
