  1. There are 47 million households in the USA with children under 18 so this translates to about $829 per household. Isn’t that a lot?

  2. Let’s be honest, the only reason these costs aren’t baked in to school taxes probably has something to do with Walmart and Target’s lobbying teams. Because God forbid the states/districts purchase the supplies in bulk…..
