Can someone tell me what is going on in schools these days? Bc I posted a video of me buying back to school supplies to donate, and the comments are crazy. Teachers saying they go through 36 glue sticks in a week, 100 expo markers in a year, and 24 pencils will only last a month. I remember 4 glue sticks and cheap pencils lasting me the entire school year no problem. Why are kids not taking care of their supplies? *also, if you have a few minutes, go give my school supply haul a watch! I'll be donating all proceeds generated from the video to buy more school supplies for kids in my community*

I feel like the answer is bad parenting, but also, I remember my teachers taking the time to teach us how to take care of our supplies at the beginning of the year. Does that not happen anymore? #fyp #backtoschool #teachersoftiktok #schoolsupplies #classroom
