The people at OACE didn't give me any books and very few supplies so I had to pay for a lot of photocopies, paper, markers, etc. Paid for a lot out of my pocket prior to August 1st.<br /><br />The remainder of the money I spent on markers (dry erase and Mr. Sketch) post-it notes, notebooks, folders, paper, as well as some printer ink. <br /><br />I'm careful with my Mr. Sketch markers around my younger students. One year I had a student try to eat the blue one because it smelled so good. Of course, he denied it but his blue lips and tongue told a different story. The label says non-toxic but I sent him to the nurse to get checked out. He was fine <br /><br />Mary AhernAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-67092895188188547392018-01-14T12:09:24.839-05:002018-01-14T12:09:24.839-05:009:44 is a bitch9:44 is a bitchAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-64180009432780528652018-01-14T10:43:13.637-05:002018-01-14T10:43:13.637-05:00The markers are a great con game perpetrated on al...The markers are a great con game perpetrated on all educators. They are wicked expensive. They dry up so quickly. Their tips fall apart so quickly they don't write well.<br /><br />How many times have you picked up a marker only to find out that it doesnt write. Then you pick up another with the same result. At least if you see a piece of chalk you know it works by virtue of the fact that it is there.<br /><br /><br />And chalk is all natural. Does not effect your health. Does not fill up landfills.<br />Markers contain harmful solvents that we breathe in all our careers. And then we put them in the landfills for eternity....lol...what a system...<br /><br /><br />oh well...if you can't beat them join them...Going to spend my teachers choice on markers now...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-59636781070486858292018-01-14T09:44:51.974-05:002018-01-14T09:44:51.974-05:00Don't expect too many answers.
