So, schools can afford condoms but not toilet paper? From The New York Times:

When Emily Cooper headed off to first grade in Moody, Ala., last week, she was prepared with all the stuff on her elementary school?s must-bring list: two double rolls of paper towels, three packages of Clorox wipes, three boxes of baby wipes, two boxes of garbage bags, liquid soap, Kleenex and Ziplocs.

?The first time I saw it, my mouth hit the floor,? Emily?s mother, Kristin Cooper, said of the list, which also included perennials like glue sticks, scissors and crayons.
