yes I'm an art teacher but I'm an art teacher who is a supply teacher.My experience is that the usual teacher has locked away the supplies and no one has the keys OR you are not trusted with the keys in case you run off with all the little fine brushes and rubbers.It's just easier to have my own supplies.I even have to buy my own whiteboard marker pens for goodness sake!!
Love Incog.

Hmmm - quite true...
However, they all seem to happen on other people's takes, so I haven't had the chance to use it in real life...
However, it's probably one of the 5 min stations in my exam, so I'd better get it all in my head somehow....
