When you’re a teacher and you’re planning out lessons there are so many things involved…like supplies! I have tons of creative ideas and most of the time I’m the one purchasing the supplies. It comes with the territory and I don’t really think about at the time. At the end of the year when I add up everything I’ve spent it can be a hard number to swallow.

Did you know on average teachers spend over 500$ a school years on supplies they aren’t reimbursed for? That adds up in a career that isn’t known for the monetary compensation. Check out this article with more shocking facts on teacher spending.
