That says to me that maybe they are hand in glove with whichever
supply place. Especially if they ask for specific felt pens etc.

Why "rolling ball gel pens"...

Perhaps only available at one specific store ? I could see if for
instance Staples (just to pick a name) offered teachers, 'for every
kid who fills out your list here we will supply you with x number of
lists full for your class' but if teachers are getting kickbacks, I
would feel offended.

Kids today bash up against far too much commercialism, we don't need
it in connection with learning. These school supplies seem to be an
exercise in consumerism.

We actually wondered if someone in the school had stock in that brand....
