I was surprised to hear that statistically Teachers end up spending a lot of their own money on school supplies every year 🙁
The new study by RetailMeNot, conducted with The Omnibus Company, specifically revealed that:
- Nearly 9 in 10 (87%) teachers have had to pay for classroom supplies for their students using their own money.
- Nearly half (45%) of K–12 teachers report that their school does not provide them with all the classroom supplies they need to help them do their jobs.
- In addition to spending their own hard-earned salary on school supplies, nearly 9 in 10 (86%) teachers have taken some type of fundraising action to acquire classroom supplies, including:
- Petitioning school officials for more funding;
- Partnering with other teachers to share supplies; and
- Soliciting help from parents to contribute additional funds to make up for any supply deficit.
