Think about the cost of the school supplies for these parents to provide their students with an education.

Books- $43.70

Notebooks- $4.37

Colored pencils- $26.25

Glue stick- $7.20

Scissors- $3.21

That's not counting the other supplies that I didn't ask you to look at.

RESPOND: How do you believe this reflects their cultural view of schooling?

This has a comparison of 14 items total of low quality vs high quality. That is only 14 of the items needed by these students. This is from the 2016-2017​ school year.

What if...​

​the prices increase by 8% each year, and this is the 2022-2023 school year, how much more expensive would these 14 items be for the low vs. high quality school supplies?
