As teachers head back to the classroom for a new year, many will reach deep into their own pockets to ensure their students have what they need. In fact, in a new report from MyElearningWorld, we found that the average teacher in the US will spend $820 out-of-pocket on their classrooms this year.
 
When you crunch the numbers, that means teachers across the US will spend $3.2 billion on their classrooms this year. Meanwhile, they can only deduct $300 on their tax returns!
 
On average, teacher spending this year will look like this:
  • Non-consumable supplies (books, software, etc.) – $193.55
  • Classroom decor – $172.23
  • Consumable supplies (pencils, paper, etc.) – $142.70
  • Food & Snacks – $121.39
  • Prizes – $119.74
  • Cleaning supplies – $70.53
