As a kindergarten teacher in a public school we feel the pinch with funding everywhere we turn. Unfortunately ,it seems like the people the current flux in eduction funding is hurting the most is our children. I am constantly trying to find ways to supplement instruction in my classroom using the smallest monetary resources that I can. There are great programs out there like DonorsChoose.org that help teachers out there find funding for projects they are working on in their classrooms. But what kind of help is there for the parents of the kids who need to send in supplies, and buy clothing, and pay textbook fees for their school aged children? As public school budgets get smaller, out-of-pocket fees for public education are getting larger.
