    People often ask me for parenting tips for back to school time. I am excited to share 10 Back to School Teacher Gifts Teachers Really Need to help get the school year off to a great start! I was a teacher for eight years, and during that time, I spent thousands buying supplies.

    You might think this only happens at underprivileged schools, but I also spent lots of my money when I taught at ritzy private schools. No matter the school, there is rarely money in the budget to get all the school supplies that teachers feel they need.

    That is why my favorite Back to School Teacher Gifts included school supplies for my classroom.

    What back to school teacher gifts do teachers really want? Here is a list that will help out your teacher and the class!
