You know what’s ridiculous? that these days the schools are making students get SPECIFIC things. I mean really, is that necessary. Any folder would do, why does it need to be so specific? I don’t remember having lists like that when I was in school, I just picked out whatever I thought I needed.

Hey thanks for the comment. Just to clarify, I’m the mom, lol. I’m the one doing the school shopping. I could always just break down and buy the stupid pre packaged stuff, but it’s $57 just for the package and I know I could get them for a great deal cheaper. I did even check the dollar store. It’s those damn plastic pronged folders that are holding me back!!!!

Thanks! I hope I get what I need too. To be honest I’m getting a little worried that I may not be able to find these folders.

That is just insane. I remember my primary school days when the race was on for school supplies. It musn’t been enough to send out a supply list with the final report card, but when we did go back to school the teachers sent home ANOTHER seperate classroom supply list. My mom was infuriated. Most of the items we bought FOR ME went into a pool of stuff for the CLASS to use. My mom didn’t like that much. Seeing how she had to skrimp and give her last to provide for me, while the whole rest of the class was mooching off of items that they didn’t have. SMH. Anyhow, she’s quite glad I’m all graduated from HS, and its over (for now). All i can tell you mom, is to keep your witts about it as much as possible; it really DOESNT last forever lol. You may be able to find some folders like that at Kmart or Office Depot. I know it sounds cheap but you can check out dollar places like The Dollar Tree, Dollar General, and Family Dollar if you have any of those where you live. I hated those dang on folders. Even at the last minute, my Univeristy requested WHITE plastic pronged/pocket folders to put our dual-enrollment essays in. like..who cares what color they are? And who makes WHITE FOLDERS?! SMh. The things the school systems come up with i swear is just to pick the last God given nerve that we have left. Good luck on your search Your blog is lovely & I had fun reading it.
