Why do teachers want parents to buy a bunch of school supplies expensive?

I bought my child supplies basic need and they spent more than $ 30 (just for me on my income) and now a list was sent home requiring simulator hundred dollars, UBS computer training, and lots of books that can be found at the library, etc. I can not afford to buy all these things and I think that if teachers wish, they must pay for it. They use the excuse that it is necessary for the college, which well you're not going to college? Not everyone has money and can not get loans and grants and scholerships. I remember when I graduated high school I heard about all the awards but it turns out they were only given to those involved in sports or minorities, there is a white A and B students Lilke me. teachers are 30 and 40 ka year and b **** about their income, but they expect me to buy more than one hundred dollars of things tomorrow when I am under 800 and month. Teachers do not seem as smart that they think they are.

go to a school board meeting and asked to speak at a meeting. If you go the route of the "chain command "as the primary, super, etc. They usually try to make you keep quiet. But board members are top of the heap and sometimes take these things in seriously, especially since these meetings are in the public eye.
