I admit, I'm old, but I don't remember the constant whine about not being able to afford school supplies and constant request for the donation of supplies/$$ for supplies when i was in school in the 70's early 80's.
Do others remember it being a thing back then? I recall we all knew that is was an expense that had to happen every year and so we planned for it. I also remember that my cheap parents expected me to reuse pencils, pens, paper, notebooks left from the previous year and we didn't automatically buy new everything.
