Owh i get it now, tho i dont think teachers where i come from ever buy there students supplies, the additional stuff yes, and maybe supplies in the form of gifts for getting good grades or scoring quizzes but never because their students dont have any pens or ruler etc. Or maybe they simply didnt care. One other thing i know is that most schools in the US will give out lists of what they need to get for school, most of them i thought was unnecessary like maybe for a highschooler they need to get crayons or school glue lol. And must they really get all that stuff? And i heard they get all that stuff not only for them but for the whole class?
