I do buy things for school, from time to time. About ten years ago, the school I worked in had so little money left in the budget (unexpected cuts in the Council budget, dropping role numbers and trying to avoid redundancies in the staff) we were so hard up that the head teacher bought the photocopier paper out of her own money. There was nothing in the stock room and I bought my own display paper, pencils, paints etc. Selfishly, it made it easier to teach how I wanted and it was nice that my classroom could still have nice displays in it etc whereas everywhere else looked a bit dull. These days I put receipts in to school for things I purchase. Usually I ask first, sometimes I risk it if it is something I particulary like, that I can find a use for myself on the offchance that school won't pay for it.
