Putting Off Bad News
Working with Difficult Clients
Relying on Students for Session Scheduling
Supplying Study Materials
It is not your responsibility to buy supplies for students. You may choose to do so if you want (especially if you are planning on using the material later for different students), but as an independent contractor, BMT cannot reimburse you for supplies you buy.
If you need students to buy a certain book or other supplies, one of the easiest ways to do this is to send parents a link to where they can buy said supplies.
