Do teachers have to pay for the school documents?

What does that actually look like in the corona pandemic? Not all parents have a laptop / computer / printer at home. Stationery stores have closed too.

What then do these parents do when the teachers expect them to print the worksheets at home when they can't? Aren't teachers obliged to print out the worksheets and thus make them available to parents? What is copy money for? What does the school do with the extra money for the loaner equipment?

I don't want to offend or attack anyone here (and if someone feels attacked - then I don't care), but I don't understand why parents are expected to buy all laptops, etc. For every child. Money doesn't grow on trees either.

So what is the legal situation?

There are contact points where you can bring up this situation.

First I would clarify this with the Sulleitung, whether they can then give you a loaner.

Teachers are not obliged to pay you for your teaching materials. They are paid for the lessons they give but have nothing to do with your material.

You can contact the school, they must at least provide you with a device if they can.

As far as paper and printer etc. Are concerned, there's currently nobody who is responsible.

However, if you get Hartz IV, you may be able to get a grant from the job center.

As far as I know, the school / teacher is not obliged to do so.

By the way:

Didn't the state provide 300 euro per child a few months ago for additional corona-related costs? There should be a few copies or a small printer in there.

It's actually not about me, I'm a student and already a bit out of school.

What teaching material are you talking about? The printed worksheets that the students receive during classroom teaching? Incidentally, copy money is collected for the copy.

Don't get me wrong, I just want to understand why parents are expected to pay for the teaching materials provided by the school. PCs, laptops, iPads and printers all cost money.

The worksheets are your own problem first, they are sent digitally and it is not regulated that the school has to pay for the printouts.

The student has books anyway, they don't matter.

The school is to provide a terminal device on loan to students who do not have their own.

The problem is that schools can only lend out the equipment they have. If there are no devices, the school has no way of lending them. It's just an unresolved situation.

I'm not talking about the teacher, I'm talking about school. It is clear that a private person does not have to pay for it.

What money are you talking about The child benefit grants? Well, there are other things that have to be paid for and if the parents are still not allowed to work due to corona, isn't a printer at the top of the priority list?

As I said, stationery stores are closed, at least in our state.

Unfortunately this is not correct. It's been 4 years since I went to school, but as far as I know, the teachers gave us the worksheets in class (after we regularly paid copy fees). Why is that not possible now (I'm not talking about handing out in class, but providing the work materials)? Right now in the pandemic? Is it too much to ask as a teacher to go to school, make the copies (copy money is nicely paid, as I said) and send the parents an email that the documents are ready for collection?

Most teachers do not give daily online lectures like the lecturers at the university, so there's no shortage of time. I think that unfortunately many teachers make it too easy for themselves. Pity!

Yes, the copies will be distributed in class. But we're homeschooling right now. Of course, the teachers could drive to school and meet at the copier to copy sheets.

However, on the one hand, this contradicts the contact restriction, which says that you should stay at home.

On the other hand, huge amounts of copies would be made, which would only be thrown away anyway because hardly any pupil would go to school to pick them up. Which, by the way, would again contradict the contact restriction.

From the perspective of pupils and parents, the effort to pick up copies would be much more laborious than just printing out the sheets.

If someone really has no way of printing and really wants to pick up the worksheets from school, it is no problem to arrange this with the school.

In any case, many schools offer the service of working on the PC on site if you do not have the opportunity at home.

Apart from that, the teachers don't get the copy money.

And the assumption that teachers are making it too easy for themselves at the moment shows that you have no idea about the job, but are simply making assertions. Pity!

No, they don't have to pay for that and I don't know any school where they ask for copy money. In most federal states it is forbidden to obtain money for teaching materials. If someone really has no way of copying, he can ask his teachers if it will be copied at school and if they can then be picked up there. And those who have no money for a laptop or tablet could apply for one to borrow from the school.
