Why do US teachers have to ask parents to bring basic school supplies?

I've also seen US teachers spending hundreds of dollars out of their own pockets to stock classrooms.

I spent a lot of time in European schools and I've never heard of teachers having to stock their own classrooms or fundraise for things like playgrounds, etc.

Black people, gay people, trans people. You know, cool folks.

Oh and poor people. Definitely poor people.
