USA School Supplies FAQs (Please read this before you go down below to say anything): 1. Yes, the schools in the USA really do ask parents to buy things. 2. Yeah, wow, that’s crazy. 3. No, we don’t like it, either, but that’s life. 4. A great deal of the money allocated to “education” in the USA never makes it to the teachers, students, and schools for basic supplies. That is not a subject for this channel. We’re here to relax, not debate stuff. You can do that elsewhere. Anyone doing it here will be banned, and your comment will be deleted. I hate to be so harsh, but this is a real problem every year, and I mean to put a stop to it. 5. No matter what country you live in, you have to pay for dumb things, too. 6. No, parents are not punished if they either can’t or won't bring in these supplies. No consequences await those who don’t contribute. However, the teachers and other school staff members often pay for supplies out of their own pocket when no one provides them, and that can cost hundreds/thousands of dollars a year. Hopefully, by donating these things, we can help prevent at least a little bit of that. 7. No, nobody cares to hear how awesome your country is. This is not a contest. No matter where you live in the world, you'll find people who are struggling. Maybe you can take that all-caps energy and help someone in your area. A little kindness goes a long way. 8. The Ziploc bags are used for a variety of things in the classroom. It may seem like a strange request, but they come in handy to store little bits of stuff, fragile projects, and dirty clothes, among other things. 9. I will continue to do these back-to-school shopping trips to help out my community every year, as long as I am financially able to do so. In a perfect world, it wouldn’t be necessary to buy any of these things, but we don’t live in a perfect world. I want to help as many people as I can, for as long as I can. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s relax and enjoy some school supplies. 😊
Thanks for uploading, Mary. This will help me sleep tonight. My sweet kitty boy passed away suddenly today. But these back to school walk throughs are my favorite so I'm grateful.
I am re packing for my third year in college and I am feeling beyond overwhelmed with the amount of stuff I have LOL! This video helped calm me down! thank you so much!
I hope to soon be in a place financially where I can donate to my community like this, too. This is a great thing you're doing, and education is VERY important, now more than ever.
I look forward to these back to school shopping videos every year. I grew up in and out of different foster homes and back to school was always a difficult time. Not having any supplies or any of the pretty new things as my peers always made me feel like I wore a label on my forehead: „unloved“. It’s people like you who make all the difference then. When you actually get the nice crayons and the pretty erasers and a new backpack and it feels so special and you go home and look at all your new beautiful things. Seeing how caringly you pick these out and treat the list as if you were buying for your own children… trust me, it means so much to any kid that dreads going back to school with zero supplies. Watching these always heals something in me. Thank you for doing it :)
I watch your videos every night. They help me fall into a deep sleep. As someone who deals with night terrors and sleep paralysis, I can honestly say since I’ve been falling asleep to your videos it doesn’t happen as often. So thankful for you. THANK YOU 🩷🥲
I watch your videos along, don't think I've ever commented. I think it's wonderful you do this. Many families are struggling & doing their best & the kids need not to have to worry about not having what they need. There's so much worry on kids/parents minds today, that you & others so graciously relieve, by helping with supplies & good for you & everyone else that helps
After watching your videos of back to school shopping it got me in the mood to shop because school supplies were my favorite. So for 2 years now I have gone school supply shopping and donated them to my sister in laws classroom! Win win
I absolutely love your excitement. I love that you are thinking like a teacher and what else they might need. Have a wonderful rest of the week. Take care of yourself. ❤
I work at walmart so when watching your walmart videos I'm always comparing what's at your store with what's at mine. I will say my store is already way messier than the one you were in today, lol
i only just started my career, graduated in May and started my job in July. Just got my 2nd paycheck in 2 years so I have a loooot of things to catch up on before I am comfortable. I don’t plan on having kids, so my goal in life is to do this exactly. I want to help random teachers in my community because supplies can make or break the child’s learning and it shouldn’t have to be out of the teachers pocket. Thank you for doing this and thank you for reigniting this dream.
These are my kids and my favorite videos you make! We look forward to them every August! A close second is the angel gifts at Christmas! Thanks for helping us fall asleep! 🤍
Miss Ma’am, you are a sweet and lovely person. God bless you and your family. You’re representing our southern hospitality very well. You take care, angel. Sending love from Texas
soon i hope to be financially stable enough to be able to do this in my community. these are my favorite videos you make. they’re so nostalgic to me, i always loved back to school shopping.
Love these! The back to school shopping videos along with the angel tree videos are my favorite! You are so kind to go out of your way to help others! Looking forward to the Target video!
juat saw this in my recommended while watching a video from a different asmrtist n i was like "SEVEN MINUTES AGO???? YIPPEE" n clicked outta their video so fast lol. ur the best mary i loon forward to these back to school ones every year!!!
I love that you do this! I’ve always donated supplies to a stuff the bus, but I missed this year! The different colored notebooks on this list are out of control. Never in my life!
I wish I had the money to buy a lot of extra supplies. I put together a small extra supplies bag for my sons teacher because we couldn't afford the room fee and I got a few things off the wish list and a few extra supplies that wasn't on the list. I love to help out when I can!
In India you not only have to buy notebooks, pens and pencils but also to the course books, nothing is provided by schools, except for govt. schools but the education there is a joke.
I was very surprised that they wanted a detailed list, even the pattern of the notebook cover. For me, notebooks are divided into lined, squared, and unlined. That's all. 😅
2 question 1st what the different between collage and wide rules 2nd why does the colour matter on note book there sll the same in the inside no hate just confused im from uk and my kids haven't started school yet
College ruled paper has less space in between the lines. Wide ruled paper are usually used for younger kids. Some schools also color coordinate subjects so you have to have a certain color for your folders and notebooks for a certain class

You could post a video just talking about dirt for an hour, and I would love every second of it
I hardly ever liked going to school, but always loved shopping for school supplies.
Thanks for uploading, Mary. This will help me sleep tonight.
My sweet kitty boy passed away suddenly today. But these back to school walk throughs are my favorite so I'm grateful.

It’s crazy how specified school supplies are when I went to school it was simple and I’m glad I don’t have to go back to school
Could you do another reading from that North Carolina ghost stories book? I really enjoyed that
It's so bittersweet to buy for school supplies. Absolutely love it but definitely not ready for summer to be over 🥲
Hope you're feeling better soon!❤

Fiskars scissors are from Finland👏 🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮
Lollll ‘all caps energy’ is a great phrase
Hi! Love your videos
Wish I was a student again
In India you not only have to buy notebooks, pens and pencils but also to the course books, nothing is provided by schools, except for govt. schools but the education there is a joke.
Wow, I never realized it was an America-exclusive thing to have to buy your own school supplies 😮
In south africa you also have to buy your own school supplies 😊
I was very surprised that they wanted a detailed list, even the pattern of the notebook cover. For me, notebooks are divided into lined, squared, and unlined. That's all. 😅
when i tell you im SCREAMING the red composition book is right in front of you. lmao
I love those Precise V5's too. I've gotten them in colors too!
2 question

2nd why does the colour matter on note book there sll the same in the inside no hate just confused im from uk and my kids haven't started school yet
