“Everybody knows teachers spend their own money on classroom supplies, even those of us who do get some supply money [from our district], ... and I think more than ever that’s become a part of back to school for teachers.” Teachers at public schools across the U.S. say that time, money and resources are some of the biggest challenges they face when preparing for the beginning of the school year. In one recent survey of educators, 1 in 4 respondents said that they spend more than $500 of their own money on classroom supplies and resources every school year.
