    My wife is a teacher. About 2k per year of our own money goes to fund basic supplies in her classroom.

    By basic I literally mean pens, paper, soap, folders, erasers, backpacks.

    We also keep a little food stocked in her classroom for kids with blood sugar and nutritional issues, since it’s a very poor income district, but I wasn’t including that when I last did her expenses since it comes straight from our grocery budget.
