I was just wondering if you have had any issues with getting teacher discounts at the store. I am told repeatedly that I need a school ID to get a discount. Obviously, as a homeschooler, I don’t have an ID. I am afraid to make one too because I don’t want them to think that I am lying. :o) I am a former public school teacher with an active license. Any advice on that?
Susie,
I have had issues but the state doesn’t issue homeschool ids and like everything else, most of us just do it ourselves. With computers today it isn’t hard to design one, but if you prefer you can use the Homeschool Coops version here:

Once we made our own id no store has turned us away. The CTA has though!
