I don't remember all this hoopla over supplies. The one that gets me is #5. When I was in school, there was a sharpener on the wall. If you didn't want to use that one you could bring your own, but is certainly wasn't required!Clarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13523884193010643197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629413949146506359.post-50366096337022989152008-09-12T06:48:00.000+03:002008-09-12T06:48:00.000+03:00And next week will begin the rounds of sending in ...And next week will begin the rounds of sending in $5 for this and $2 for that....Dakotapamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14600901961685207952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629413949146506359.post-10843615296958131332008-09-11T23:55:00.000+03:002008-09-11T23:55:00.000+03:00This was the first year I waited until a week afte...This was the first year I waited until a week after school started to get supplies because I've always had to go back a few times too!Gennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977090214116084952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629413949146506359.post-29991069088685461102008-09-11T23:48:00.000+03:002008-09-11T23:48:00.000+03:00This is why I homeschool, so I don't have to make ...This is why I homeschool, so I don't have to make 40 trips to the store, LOL.

Gotta love DoDDS. They even supply the agendas we had to pay $15 for at the old school.<BR/><BR/>Of course, it's also extremely hard to find school supplies here--German paper sizes are just a bit different, for example, and the PX tends to run out of things unless you start shopping in June. <BR/><BR/>Thank goodness Office Depot delivers to APO addresses. :)<BR/><BR/>I hope you'll post and let us know what they need the book stand for! It reminds me of the clipboard that's been on the list of one kid or another for the past 4 years--but nobody's ever used it. I didn't bother sending it in to school this year. It's in a drawer at home if he needs it. *rolling my eyes*Darlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08346619210375248680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629413949146506359.post-32966010462743547662008-09-11T15:15:00.000+03:002008-09-11T15:15:00.000+03:00Other than the fact that it (and the math notebook...Other than the fact that it (and the math notebooks for that matter) open right to left (since Hebrew is read right to left)?<BR/><BR/>Nothing at all.

Nothing goes into a communal stash. I expect the lists, in fact I'd already received and purchased the supplies on quite a long one. My gripe is the fact that they can't seem to get EVERYTHING onto the list. Why the constant barrage of "now buy this extra thing, now buy that extra thing" every day for the first two weeks.
