Thousands of teachers spend as much as $500 annually out of their own pockets to provide school supplies for their students. And now, teachers who shop at Target before July 21 will receive a special discount. The need for this sale reveals the woeful state of resources in schools across the country. Target’s discount highlights “the lack of investment and lack of priority for school kids,” said AFT President Randi Weingarten. “The wave of teacher walkouts this spring made it clear that educators don’t get paid appropriately for the job they do.”
