Schools Requiring Kids To Bring Their Own Toilet Paper 11
Across the country schools are asking students to bring in supplies to help offset budget cuts. Kids in Moody, Alaska received a must bring list for the start of the school year including: two double rolls of paper towels, three packages of Clorox wipes, three boxes of baby wipes, two boxes of garbage bags, liquid soap, Kleenex and Ziplocs. Pre-kindergartners at McClendon Elementary in Nevada, Tex. must bring: a package of cotton balls, two containers of facial tissue, rolls of paper towels, sheaves of manila and construction paper, and a package of paper sandwich bags. From the article: "'Some of the things that have been historically provided by schools, we’re not able to provide at this point,' said Barbara A. Chester, president of the National Association of Elementary School Principals."

Funny thing about mandatory schooling ... you can't require kids to bring things. What are you going to do, kick them out?

Does mandatory schooling say that a kid has to go to a specific school?
What it says is that the local district must provide schooling. The student may use other schooling options as allowed by law.
The school could kick them out under certain circumstances...
Because the district must provide schooling for all children, there are very strict circumstances where public schools are allowed to kick kids out, and it usually won't include being unwilling to supply toilet paper.
Although even if they can't kick them out, they could close the bathroom.
If they want a multimillion-dollar lawsuit, sure.
Nothing in mandatory schooling says that the school is required to provide bathroom facilities.
Riiiiiiiiight.

you can't require kids to bring things
Are you saying you can't require kids to bring pencils, erasers, or paper?
Of course you can't. What do you propose do if kids don't bring those things? Again, the district is obligated to provide school for everyone, and except for gross misconduct which makes the child impossible to keep IN the school, they can't kick them out. They'd be violating their legal mandate.
Are you saying the school should provide those for kids who cannot or will not bring them?
Are you saying it sounds like I did? I never said anything to that point, obviously. You're quite obtuse.
That said, public schools usually do precisely that for kids who can't, or won't, provide their own suppl
