I’ve also seen US teachers spending hundreds of dollars out of their own pockets to stock classrooms.

I spent a lot of time in European schools and I’ve never heard of teachers having to stock their own classrooms or fundraise for things like playgrounds, etc.

    Basically it is a way to provide unfair education. By forcing the student’s parents to pay for as much as possible you are ensuring that only wealthy neighborhoods get good education.
