By Leila Meyer04/30/15
This year 91 percent of teachers used some of their own money to pay for
school supplies, and 38 percent used only their own money, according to a
new report from The NPD Group.
The report, "Today's Teachers: School Supply Purchasing Dynamics and
Behaviors," surveyed almost 1,000 K-12 public and private school teachers in
the United States about their purchasing behaviors. The online survey was
conducted in February 2015.
According to the report, teachers expect to spend a total of about $500 on
school supplies by the end of this school year, 47 percent of which will
come from their own pockets. About one third of teachers expect to spend
more on school supplies this year than last.
Other key findings from the report:
73 percent of teachers or schools provide students with a list of school
supplies to purchase;
62 percent of students can purchase all of the requested school supplies;
87 percent of teachers purchase items for writing and children's activities;
86 percent of teachers purchase general office supplies;
79 percent purchase notebooks and paper;
74 percent purchase janitorial, sanitation and breakroom products; and
67 percent purchase materials for arts, crafts and projects.
While the August and September back-to-school season is when teachers
purchase most school supplies, 52 percent also purchase items during the
months of January, February and March.
According to Leen Nsouli, office supplies industry analyst for The NPD Group
, several factors are contributing to teachers' attitudes and purchasing
activities, including "changing dynamics in terms of marketplace competition
within the office and school supply industry, as well as shifts in school
budgets and technological advancements which have transformed the way
students think and learn."

部分老师有习惯自己掏腰包给学生买东西来鼓励学生。
所以我觉得，家长每学期也应该给老师送张卡片，表示感谢。信里面最好能放张$10~$
20的Gift Card. 钱不要多，表示心意即可。钱多了有送贿之嫌疑，别人也不敢收。当
然，很多的钱如果拿来捐给学校是可以的。 |
