Yes I could see if these discounts were related to classroom use only, but I have not seen that stipulation. And I suspect school districts are footing the bill for most if not all classroom supplies.
I noticed today that JoAnn Fabrics gives teachers 15% off every day because they appreciate their hard work. The Maximalist is a nurse and nurses work hard too! PLUS we don't get all summer off, Christmas and Spring breaks and every holiday known to mankind. In fact we work holidays. Hospitals do not close for Christmas, Easter or for the summer. We work around the clock, too. And yes, while schools are closed for bad weather (and yes it's fine and dandy so our kids should not be at risk)nurses are expected to remain in the building and sleep at the hospital so that there will be adequate staffing. The Maximalist just spent Hurricane Irene at her place of employment and has spent snowstorms at work as well.
So please JoAnn and others, try recognizing other hard working professions for a change! Hmmm?
