It's absurd that teachers have to buy their own supplies. I don't know of any other job that requires that.

Not saying it's acceptable either, but most trades workers are expected to supply their own tools if they work for anything but the absolute largest companies. My friend just had to spend $2,000 out of pocket to start a manufacturing job for Boeing earlier this year.
