Ok, I have a little vent. I noticed on my son's back to school list that they are asking for Lysol wipes, paper towels, tissues and other items. ? Have school budgets been cut this much?

And apparently the NY Times has noticed this trend too. I don't think it's fair to make parents pay for cleaning supplies. And I also don't think it's fair to charge school fees. I'm sure, just like last year, I will be charged a $50 school fee. What is that money going towards? If parents are buying all the school supplies and cleaning supplies, why do they need more money? Talk about being nickeled and dimed.
