Parents are quite startled when they are presented with the list of school supplies that are needed by every child in the family. Not only are there many pens, pencils and under-liners needed, but the students are responsible for bringing to school binders and paper that will fit them. Then there will be other paper on the list that everyone will need.
At the end of the shopping trip, the family might have accumulated a lot of bulk just from the binders and paper items that were on the school supplies shopping list. Some parents will not even consider buying a book bag for their child until the binders and paper items are purchased. They found out from previous years that many book bags will not allow certain binders to be inserted into them.
Some school teachers have their own preference to the binders that children use for special projects. Parents might be tasked with buying see through folders in place of binders for many of the classes that their children will take. Some school boards are very rigid about the items that are placed on the school supplies shopping lists that are sent out to every parent’s just weeks before school is to start.
