And he has company. According to a federal Department of Education survey released on Tuesday, 94 percent of public school teachers in the United States reported paying for supplies without reimbursement in the school year that straddled 2014 and 2015.
Digital Banking (mobile & Online Banking)
It made little difference whether they taught in cities, suburbs or rural areas, or whether or not their students were poor — virtually every public school teacher said they had used their own money for their classrooms.
“It’s almost expected, especially in the summer months creeping up into September, ” Mr. Yung said. “It’s just something we kind of naturally do.”
The teachers who reported spending their own money on supplies shelled out $479 each on average, according to the survey. Seven percent reported spending more than $1, 000.
Art Supplies Must Haves For Every Art Teacher
The findings, based on a nationally representative sample of tens of thousands of teachers, underscore the demands teachers across the country have been making in recent months amid protests over stagnant pay and underfunding.
The latest took place on Wednesday in North Carolina, where some schools canceled classes as throngs of teachers and others marched in the capital. Similar rallies have been held this year in Arizona, Kentucky, Oklahoma and West Virginia.
On average, public school teachers earned just under $60, 000 last school year, according to the National Education Association, but pay is so low in some areas that officials have been recruiting overseas.
How To Get Free Classroom Art Supplies
Limited budgets and red tape have led some teachers to seek outside funds for classroom projects. Like Mr. Yung, some of them use DonorsChoose.org, a crowdfunding website where educators can solicit donations for supplies, trips, and other projects.
In March, he raised almost $3, 000 for materials to teach his students about insects. The project was a hit, but the children wanted to see live bugs, too.
The cost of the additional materials was less than the DonorsChoose.org $100 minimum and Mr. Yung had already reached a city reimbursement limit, so he spent his own money to buy two more books, an ant farm and caterpillars.

“I don’t want to deprive my kids of this awesome experience of witnessing a caterpillar turn into a butterfly and watching ants burrow because it’s such an interest that they have right now, ” he said. “So I went on Amazon.”Are you making your own art a priority?

I started teaching elementary art in a urban, South Dallas school back in 2008. Seeing my classroom for the first time was a shock! I had boxes upon boxes of faded construction paper scraps, dozens of mostly dried up markers, and a pile of metal scissors that barely cut the scraps. That was it.
I went straight to my principal and told her I needed art supplies if she wanted the kids to make art. She told me to make a list of what I wanted, and they would do what they can. I, of course, made her a nice long list and hit up the office supply stores with my own money for crayons and colored pencils to at least get me through until my supply order can through.
The Mental Health Crisis Causing Teachers To Quit
The first week or two will be introduction anyway, and we can use pencils and copy paper for some drawing activities. I had about 800 students divided among 37 sections of students, and it was my first time teaching elementary art, so I didn’t need to be doing any advanced or complicated projects right away anyway. I also managed to con some of the classroom teachers into giving me their extra 12×18 manila paper.
Finally, I go to the office manager and ask the status of my supply order. She said my list was too long, and they didn’t know what was the most important, so no order had been placed.
I marked the things absolutely necessary from my original order and gave it back to her. I ended up with only 1/4
