Actually, each fall the different Independent School Districts have a
2-4 page list of required school supplies.  My sister in law spends
about 150 dollars on two teenagers.  Then, they take these supplies
and put them into a large pool box so if your child brings in Harry
Potter this or that, chances of them having it from that pool of
supplies is almost none. 

The things teachers buy are basic items to help illustrate science
projects, paints, different things ordinarily schools supplied.  I
grew up in Brooklyn where we were covered under the NYS Board of
Education.  Here in Texas, each district is independent.  There is a
lot of room for corruption of funding.  I am tired of paying for it.  

We are seriously looking at places like Belize and Cancun to retire
to.  Costa Rica is another place I have been looking at.  I will not
develop anything, but we'd buy something already existing so we don't
further displace more native fauna and flora.
