I believe teachers get a small tax credit for supplies.  Something like 250 bucks a year.
Didn't that get axed in new tax cuts? or was it just proposed. :unsure:

It was a deduction, not a credit, and I believe it did get axed.

I don't actually know the difference between those.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

For a deduction you subtract the money from your reported income.
For a credit you subtract the money from your tax paid.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Tiny but critical difference.

Schools buy the materials that the school administration thinks are most useful.  I think that having every kid use highlighters to mark their thesis, evidence, keys words, citations, and analysis before submitting their work is a powerful tool that forces them to pre-judge their work (and even fix it) before I see it.  But I have to buy all of those highlighters myself; they aren't standard.  That's maybe $200 per year right there.

When I was in school, we (well, our parents, usually) bought our own stuff like pens, pencils, highlighters, notebooks, etc.

Probably not;  it was probably one of those big concrete things.

We still do that. Or rather now I do that for my kids. But the school still needs time and money from us.

Interesting. How far away from the actual White House is the barrier? IIRC you cannot actually drive that close to it anymore.
