School in Theresa May's constituency seeks £1 for pens - School asks for £1 per day for pens
Really? My daughter's schools never have. Only any felt tips or crayons and them only of you wanted to as an extra. All those things would be supplied anyway as a norm. Always had the schools give out the pens and pencils.We have always had to buy stationary I think?
Yeah, we have had to buy a scientific calculator and a compass etc. and that's fine, but never pens and pencils. My daughter has now been at three schools and has never had to pay for pens or pencils or any stationery unless it is something specific akin to the two items above.They might have spares at the school but ever year since she started we have had to buy them.
We had to buy her a maths kit (compass etc) the other week too.
Weird. Should be uniform across the county surely.Yep we have always had to at 2 different schools. Pencils, felt tips, crayons, Pens, rulers etc.
Never had to pay for exercise books etc though.
When did schools ever provide pens? Some (if not all) stationary yes, text books yes (do students even use text books any more?) but not pens.School in Theresa May's constituency seeks £1 for pens - School asks for £1 per day for pens
Calculators and rulers, yes, pens and pencils, no, for us.Exercise books and all that has been free but pens and pencils and calculators and rulers etc you bring your own and that was 15 years ago for me.
You have to pay to stand still? Strange world we live in!We have always had to buy stationary I think?

My parents always used to have to provide pens, pencils, calculators and what not. We would get the text books and notebooks to write in at no cost. We also got free stationary from the technology class as it was often posh paper, coloured card and more expensive type stuff. I used to rob it blind and sell it on to classmates.
Yes, everything apart from exercise booksAt Primary??
