Right now, Sam is downstairs being tutored in foundations of science by a master's student in chemical engineering. We are fortunate to live in a town where extremely educated, intelligent and very nice young people are available to tutor children for $15 an hour. This is especially valuable if your children are learning things that might as well be in an extraterrestrial language, such as chemistry and calculus.
Even with such talented instruction, erasers are still a necessity. Perhaps not eight of them, though. One or two should be enough. Used up markers, never used decorative stamps and unsharpened pencils are similarly of little value.
I chalk all these office supplies up not only to Emma Jane's love for them, but also to my own love of buying stocking stuffers. The fact that my children opened little wrapped erasers and thanked me very prettily four different Christmasses speaks well of them, don't you think?
I just can't get over the fact that you're paying $15 (!) for a tutor!!!
