I still remember my Spanish student in Canada shouting across the cafeteria to ask if his friend could lend him a rubber Very Happy Surprised

What country are you going to, teachinfool? That would help us answer you better.

Schools vary. I've had places give me laptops, pencils, erasers, basically anything I need and I've had others that made us buy our own paper to print.
