I work at a title one school where most students do not have extra money to buy regular supplies like notebooks, pencils, pens, scissors, or glue sticks. My students normally don't come to school thinking that they need to have a pair of headphones. Headphones are actually essential, especially in the upper grades because they do a lot of work on their computers. One thing that they are essential for is taking diagnostic assessments at the beginning of the year And taking state assessments at the end of the year headphones. Every school year I have to purchase headphones with my own money to ensure that my students have the materials that they need for the entire school year.
