Probably varies a lot from school district to school district, but mine get a lot of print-at-home things from ours.

So the school hands out exercises that the parents need to print at home?

Would be much cheaper and more inclusive to ask for a small fee and print it on professional devices centrally organized by the school.

Yes. COVID saw some of this move to Microsoft Teams at our district, but some teachers are definitely holdouts. Some teachers want essays handed in on paper for marking up, as well.

Same thing with school supplies. You get a piece of paper that tells you everything you need for the year. Even 2nd grader needs a box of crayons. How many colors, which brand? What if one parent buys a name brand another buys Walmart brand? How about all the time I need to spend to order it, make sure it's the right one? Thank goodness for Walmart...I can deliver from store w/o fighting all the back to school parents.

Well - now the free market has figured it out! There's a private company who will buy everything for you on the list and deliver it to your classroom.

Welcome to America.
