They don't. Somewhere along the line, they noticed that if they don't provide these things, teachers and parents would do it out of their own pockets because they care about the children.
They realized that they could consume the latent altruism of the moral stakeholders for their own enrichment.
- pryelluw 10y agoFood for thought Most teachers in my wife's school do not buy any materials and do without. They go all year with the initial batch of materials the department sends them (which is a small quantity). I used to work in EdTech and the situation in many other states is similar. In fact, I know certain big companies who will not even give some districts the time of day because they know any time spent there is wasted. That's how the next generation is being educated.
