Due to a lack of resources, teachers across America say they are dipping into their personal funds in order to supply their own classroom needs.
While some are reaching straight into their pockets, others crowdfund in hopes to fulfill these back-to-school necessities.
"It's bewildering," McLoud told"GMA.""Imagine if we treated other professions like this -- fire safety personnel that have to buy their own hoses, police officers who had to pay for their own handcuffs[?]" She added,"Many of my students have experienced some kind of severe trauma in their lives so having that comfortable atmosphere and making sure their basic needs are met is essential if you want them to learn anything.
Changes Floyd would like to see in the system: "Teachers are literally helping to establish the foundation for our future...I would love to see additional funding go to help students receive new textbooks, art programs and supplies, educational field trips and fair pay for the rigorous work teachers put forth all year."Items bought: chairs, bulletin boards, pencils, pens, highlighters, storage bins, curriculum materials.
Changes Bedor would like to see: "School funding is a slippery slope. In Wisconsin, public schools are funded with property tax dollars. The general public has a lot of opinions on how that money is spent," she said. Changes Livesey would like to see: "Many people know that teachers are responsible for educating our future, although investments are going into new curricula, testing and initiatives. If that money went into our classrooms to ensure we have all that is required for a successful learning environment, then teachers wouldn't feel the obligation to spend their own money."
Changes Kling would like to see: "For the state of Arizona I want the funding restored back into the classrooms," she said."There's still about 8 billion dollars that hasn't been given back. That's what the #RedforEd movement was all about."Items bought: supplemental curriculum through Critical Thinking Company, Prufrock Press, and TeachersPayTeachers.com.
