In West Virginia, the parents buy all the supplies, no uniforms unless they are in a religious school. It's also hard here to get an aid for your child unless he is very challanged in certain areas. As for colleges helping?? nooooo, if you don't have good study habits before college, there is little or no help. At least no here in the states. They are totally responsible for themselves, the colleges don't care if you do your work or not. They take your money and your on your own!...debbieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-49537905537698044642013-01-29T21:54:09.036+13:002013-01-29T21:54:09.036+13:00As a teacher, all I can say is that if you think t...As a teacher, all I can say is that if you think that you fork out a heap for your kids, you should see how much we fork out! I have just spent $400 for glue, sticky tape and crayons for my class! And that is just the start! As for help, I would love to give more specialist help for my kids, but it comes down to government allocation!! unfortunately!#fatfreefloozyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17692125431299326411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-54513282322239086722013-01-29T17:29:44.032+13:002013-01-29T17:29:44.032+13:00I yiyi, you have a lot going on!
I completely und...I yiyi, you have a lot going on!<br /><br />I completely understand the anxiety of starting a new school with new teachers. We go through it every year with Godson. It seems every year promises for his extra assistance are made but they are only provided with a great deal of kicking and screaming by his mother. Her advice is to never stop pushing to get Griffin assistance. And as far as all the loot schools ask for- Makes me wanna scream!<br /><br />The kids are so absolutely gorgeous and growing like weeds! you have a gorgeous family.<br /><br />High five on cleaning up your sewing room. It will be such a treat when you have time to sit down and actually start to make things again... even if the sewing messes up the space, it's still sewing. I'll be watching to see what you make next.<br /><br />Hang in there and stay cool.<br />xo jjJoanna Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10836376588710862173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-31324683207152784982013-01-29T16:20:33.054+13:002013-01-29T16:20:33.054+13:00I love Griffin and Dante pics, then the Keera Bryl...I love Griffin and Dante pics, then the Keera Brylee picture oh my she may well be there for awhile!! <br /><br />I get Samuels stationary myself wait until you read this Yr 9/10 1st calculator $90 Yr 11 2nd calculator $105 Yr 12 3rd calculator $135 YES he has needed 3 different calculators maths 1 class yr 9/10 data statistics yr 11 ( D/S 1 class) YR 12 Physics a blardy Grahics calculator NOW I ask you WHY? becaus ehe has been in all the TOP classes he has needed more and more gear I was lucky with his college uniform I got half new half secondhand I have gone to office throughout the year and got cheaper shorts and tops, this year he maybe only needs 1 pr shorts I AM GOING to change my name to Sharon ( insert any school name here ) and have regular donations!!!

It's never ending! <br />The school would prefer us to buy from a preferred supplier for stationery but also does give us a list so I managed to get everything that we needed for about $10 cheaper than the original source!<br />We have been lucky this year re uniform but I think next year we will need new ones however unfortunately the only place we can get the dresses, jerseys, PE uniform etc is direct from the school (but you can pay it off) and they do have a second hand shop but only open 2hrs a week (while I am at work).<br />LOVE the photos of Brylee with Keera! Just gorgeous! And well done to you and Lacy for the work done in the garage - hopefully Stew won't be to hot to put up your new shelving when he gets home.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04966268785185212678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-22936088744694610712013-01-29T12:54:19.927+13:002013-01-29T12:54:19.927+13:00I agree with you about the school uniforms, I fail...I agree with you about the school uniforms, I fail to see how they can be so damn expensive. Intermediate is particularly irksome as it is only for 2 years too. I just got Siobhans college uniform and for 3 shirts, 2 skirts & a jersey it was $ 560. <br /><br />Our intermediate had the same policy for the stationery and it seemed to me to be bloody expensive. I got everything I needed for the kids college books (apart from a couple of workbooks which have to be from the school) but including the fancy calculator for Siobhan for around $ 90. And that is with a couple of extras and double the number of refill they say they need.<br /><br />For the school fees and extra expenses for workbooks and other course costs, I set up an AP at the beginning of the year and pay it off over about 3 or 4 months. With the intermediate I also did that for school camp and the ski trip ( I actually ended up paying a bit much so the extra covered a few of the other activities at the end of the year too).<br /><br />It does seem that the higher decile schools are harder to get funding for things as they get so much less than lower deciles and the parents end up having to pay more and more. Our schools are mid decile so are not too bad and I do find at college there does seem to be less requests for money for trips etc. I know they do include some of these in the course costs at the beginning of the year such as the drama trips and the camps.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17809180814553643509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-16896197692370549742013-01-29T12:27:44.714+13:002013-01-29T12:27:44.714+13:00I totally agree about the schools! Higher decile ...I totally agree about the schools! Higher decile just means less funding and less help for special kids. Seriously, could you phone around a few schools and see if there if more help elsewhere? I agree about the stationery too - bloody rip off when you just don't need the stuff. <br /><br />Your school would have more $gold coin days too as they get less funding and need more money from the parents to operate. A friend who teaches at a low decile school says the get masses of funding and assistance.
