I bought a 5 hole binder and the paper that goes in it. Once again the teacher told my kid, it was the "wrong one". 3 hole, 5 hole. What the heck difference did it make? It was a binder with paper! I caved in on the book covers, I did not cave on the binder. But that type of ridiculously silly autocratic behavior at the beginning of the school years does upset our kids. I think that since they were spending our money, they sometimes asked for things that they never would have asked for if the school was footing the bill.
Just a guess, from a teacher's perspective-
Every single time I make copies, I am the one who punches holes in the papers for my students, so that they can store them inside their binders. I have access to a three hole punch or a single hole punch. I would not have hand punched two additional holes each time I made a copy for your daughter.
.....good point. As a parent, I would not have thought of that.

I have no children but one of our local news stations has a "Stuff the Bus" program that goes for one day. They put up daily what is needed for this event.
Members from that news station stand outside in a drive through type formation and the cars stop, these newscasters take the items. Last year they had enough supplies to stuff I believe 2 school busses, if not 2 1/2. I always donate to this event and buy exactly what's on the list.
