I fear that people have become desensitized to seeing teachers asking for help with wishlists.
Each year we are inundated with teachers essentially begging for help. I see it & feel it too.
I am one of those teachers who would not be able to run a classroom without the kindness of strangers.
I apologize & thank you in a single message, because I know many are struggling too. A boost is equally appreciated.The students are back & I didn’t lose anyone over the summer!

@Saltssaltgirl @EdCates You have zero (read zero) reason to apologise. The folks in charge of implementing a system that leaves teachers in such a predicament should be the ones hanging their heads in shame (I won’t hold my breath).
You exemplify everything that’s good in the system despite the system. I hope your students know how lucky they are to have you.
@aral thank you for your kind words. The support you’ve shown to me has meant a lot. I do love being a teacher and I hope that real change comes soon.
@Saltssaltgirl Anytime :) (And if I ever miss one of your appeals, please feel free to ping me directly)
PS. Me too (on the real change thing) :)
@aral thank you!! Truly.
