    The rabbits could be useful in biology. Not only are they something often used for dissection, there are school-adjecent programs like the FFA where you might learn how to raise them. I raised rabbits as my FFA project, since participation in the FFA was required for the AP Biology class they stuck me in.

        You didn’t read the headline correctly then. It says “With their own cash”, which means they’re buying this stuff for their classrooms with their own money out of their own pay. There’s no federal subsidies for these.

          I did read it correctly. The implication is that its bad they buy it themselves, because the State should buy it for them.

          Paper, yes. The other two, no.

        That’s something everyone can eat and doesn’t contain anything that kids especially are allergic to in large numbers, great idea.

        Bread goes bad and needs to be replaced even if no one uses it. Protein bars will last the year if no one needs them

        I think the larger point is that teachers are having to pay for their own supplies as well which are necessary like books, art supplies for younger populations, paper, writing utensils, etc. Its a well known fact that unfortunately teachers have to do this as some schools are not providing these materials/supplies.
