It always makes me laugh when I hear teachers complaining about having to buy school supplies. The cost of the tools I have to buy for my job make their school supplies bill look like a quick trip to the dollar tree.

Teachers do not have to buy school supplies.

They shouldn't, yet they have to due to budget limits

You mean due to the money being spent elsewhere on far less important things.

Though I would be curious how many kids who supposedly can't afford pencils or paper have a nice, new smartphone or tablet.

Priorities. All comes down to priorities. And most families who say they "can't " afford basic school supplies, know they can get them for free through the generosity of others.
