I hate how specific they are! Took me 3 stores to finally find a plastic, 2-pocket orange folder with binder holes and without metal prongs. And some of it just annoys me. I understand wanting a certain level of uniformity and have no problem with them specifying colors if they're asking for a folder or notebook for each subject. But if the teacher asks for 1 composition notebook, what would it hurt to allow the child to pick their favorite color or pattern?
