Seven folders that are plastic and three hole punched in seven specific colors with matching notebooks? He'd say screw that and buy whatever he saw first. I can only imagine what he'd come home with and my children would be horrified! We also dug through last years supplies.

My favorite was the presharpened pencil bit. My nine year old has been back in school for over two weeks. We didn't get a supply list. Nope, we went an hour at Walmart going through their turn table searching for his school's list.

I know we are fortunate to have schools that have much more than others. And thank you for looking into the book. The paperbacks are not available for preorder.

We have only one daughter, who is almost 25, and this post brought back some memories of shopping for school supplies. And we were supplying the classrooms even more than our daughter with paper towels, toilet paper, tissues and things like that because they needed it for the kids. So sad.
