#ClearTheList is the hashtag many educators locally and nationally are using as they post links to Amazon wish lists of classroom supplies.

August 5, 2019 Several educators have indicated they have created and shared their Amazon wishlists because of a lack of funding for classroom supplies.
I work in East St. Louis. We are a donation based school and this year the teachers will not be given any $ to buy supplies for my classroom. I have created a wish list.*** Here is a link to the amazon wish list: https://t.co/xTqjaeTcxM #clearthelist

August 4, 2019 While some may feel generous enough to donate to a teacher's classroom through the #ClearTheList movement, others could argue parents are being increasingly pressured to spend more money on their child's education when schools ought to be the ones footing the bill for classroom supplies.
