I get $0 from my school to spend on supplies. Without my buying supplies for my students, they would not have anything!

It seems that this situation is happening around the world. It’s upsetting that teachers buy supplies for students as a normal thing because they know that they can’t have lessons without basic materials. It should never be a norm. Just imagine that chef in some restorant has to buy vegetables from his own pocket because he can’t cook a meal without it and restorant just dosn’t have money for vegetables. Sounds apsourd, right, but when it comes to teachers it’s suddenly normal thing to do.
