BYOTP. In my school we're supposed to limit the handouts that we distribute and let them take notes themselves and access the class website at home. If the TP and tissues means that another teacher can be kept, I'm all for it. As long as they don't touch the teacher workrooms bathroom with this rule.

Yes brought back memories of my school days. I remember even back then that the school district discontinued busing the athletes to the away games. I thought that was a PITA. You had to find your own ride to the game. I walked to elementary and junior high school, but finally got to ride a school bus to high school. I was thrilled not to have to walk any longer. For 22 years now, I drive the school bus. It's amazing how different districts run. I have worked for 3 districts, and one private company in 3 states. Our funding here doesn't seem to have been cut much. I drive in a rural district and my route is 125 miles each day. Most of our kids get picked up at their driveways. Some of those driveways can be pretty long. Some kids walk close to a mile. When we do sports trips sometimes we will drive 300 miles one way for one game. I think that's a little bit crazy, but it pays well. So far my school districts' wallet seems to still be open. Just today I asked my boss for a $300 backpack type vacuum to clean my bus. He seemed to approve of the idea. So far we haven't been asked to bring toilet paper in, but for years our kids had to bring tissues. School lunch prices are what get me. When I was in elementary school the lunch was .40c, and that included milk. Today it costs $2.30 to eat lunch. That can add up real quick. An extra milk is now .40c. Wow... Loved the post.

The schools won't pay for it anymore. And yes, our buses cost a fortune ... and aren't even offered on many routes anymore. It sucks.

I never used t-paper when I was a kid. Course, I didn't have many friends, but really, I was way ahead of my time, saving trees. Those spoiled rotten kids can just use their hands and wash 'em off afterwards. They can be green AND brown, right? So no more crying about the T.P. 'k?

Not only would it be a pee quicker-picker-upper, it would also double as notepaper to pin on kid's backpacks, art suppy paper, and note-writing during nap time so kids don't have to get poked in the chest.
