🛑 LET'S STOP NORMALIZING THIS

A nurse gets to work and hears:

"Sorry. We ran out of gloves. Maybe grab some on your way in tomorrow."

A mechanic shows up and the shop says:

"We don't have tools this month. Do what you can."

An accountant gets an email:

"We need everyone to bring their own printer paper until further notice."

People would lose their minds.

But teachers?

Teachers buy pencils.
Teachers buy notebooks.
Teachers buy tissues.
Teachers buy snacks.
Teachers buy supplies for kids they have never even met yet.

And somehow we normalized it.

Some teachers spend hundreds.
Some spend thousands.

Not because they have to.

Because they know the kids are the ones who go without if they don't.

The district underfunds the classroom and then relies on teachers' guilt, generosity, and love for kids to cover the difference.

And it works.

Every year.

Signed, Elle. A former teacher who spent way too much money trying to fix problems that were never hers to fix.
