I have bought lottery tickets in years past

When it first started in Florida, I bought them because it was suppose to be supplement to the schools. Now, not so much a supplement. Use to be that schools provided the necessities; while children were suppose to bring in crayons, paper, scissors, pencils, pens.

All that has changed and it seems to stem from the time of the lottery's beginning. Now parents are responsible for providing toilet paper, paper towels, wet wipes, enough crayons, paper, scissors, pencils and pens for the entire class (it seems). And while there are some who truly cannot afford to do so, you know, as well as I, that there are others who won't just because they know other parents will. It's getting almost as expensive to send your child to a public school as a private one.
