NYC teachers fundraise for basics despite record spending

NYC public school teachers are turning to online fundraising just to stock up on essentials like bandages, hygiene products, and even warm clothes for students—while the city is set to spend a staggering $42,000 per student this year. Many educators say their school budgets barely cover the basics, forcing them to dip into their own pockets or rely on platforms like DonorsChoose. It’s wild to think that with all this funding, teachers still have to crowdsource for what kids need most. How do you think the money should be spent to actually support classrooms? #Education #NYCschools #EducationFunding
