But even worse then the ancient equipment is the teachers extreme lack of teacher ability to use it. I have typed almost 30 emails for teachers, printed countless pages, setup countless powerpoints (usually for other students presentations because they are just as bad as the teachers). I just wish that technology was bigger in school. It is what runs the world now, and everyone should be able to do at least the basics.
