[QUOTE="Sanford, post: 2879557, member: 27733"] I suppose (torturing a quotation) that "It depends what the meaning of the word '[B][I]in[/I][/B]' is." Since you seem to have your finger on the facts perhaps you'd be willing to share the reason neither are part of the Lawton Public School district? I've worked for the federal government. I've worked for the state government. I currently work in public education. In each and every one of those jobs I've purchased some of my own equipment and supplies when budgets were tight. Two of my wife's sisters who currently teach at the elementary level have done the same, and none of us are complaining about it. I think that's about what I said in "post number 58" and fail to see where any of that is difficult to understand. On further thought I realize that I've purchased my own equipment and supplies when working in the private sector and never beefed about that either. The intent of all that was simply a reminder to review the "unreimbursed employee expenses" topics when filing tax returns in case any/all may be eligible. Actually the only comparisons I made were purchasing one's own supplies and equipment and a feeling that one would like to be paid more. If you truly believe there are no valid comparisons between working in education and elsewhere I might suggest that you may have spent far too much time isolated within the halls of academia. It's certainly not an uncommon conceit among those who have. Let's just say that I no longer teach. [/QUOTE]
