Tech in School?

So if you haven't known by now I'm a freshman. Whoo...

But the State has cut budgets to create horrible layoffs and the whole school has been suffering.

And yet the school has managed to installed projectors in every room and many rooms include the expensive smart-boards and E.L.M.O's.

Ive been in classes that has had the technology and we had never used the smart-boards and E.L.M.O's for educational purposes. We just fooled around drawing smilefaces and unicorns onto the display while the teacher wasnt there. So the (approx.)$5,000 per unit spent is wasted just so kids can fool around? Not a smart idea.

And we still are laying off teachers left and right. What gives?

We NEED teachers to teach. Its kinda there job. And no piece of technology can change that.

So dear School District, things need to change.

  1. I know how annoying that is. In my school they completely re . . . (re-something) . . . well, made better one of the labs. It would bo good but they have an interactive whiteboard and a projector but no computer. Also the actuall lab part is never used, only the seating part. I wanna be a ninja. But for now I'll settle on doing my essay on ninja.
