text: There are many materials a student need for their educational benefits. A lot of these materials are also expensive and difficult to use without the guidance of a physical teacher such as textbooks, measuring materials, graphing calculators, etc. Many of these materials are already in a school classroom, and the student has access to them for free. To spends hundreds of dollars for school material may be difficult for the student and the guardian providing for the students' needs. With each of these materials, they should be able to provide a better understanding to the content the student is learning. Often these materials are provided to schools by taxes, the community pays for materials that students use for their better understanding of whatever that subject may be. From obtaining these materials with taxes, students in that class will get a better understanding of the material they're learning, and will make their work easier to do. For example, having a graphing calculator in geometry. This is a needed material but prices can start off at $100. Not many students can simply make a huge purchase of a calculator. To have to study at home though, a graphing calculator will rarely be provided for that student, thus they have to pay that same price or even more.
