At my daughter’s high school for parent night (we didn’t have one in high school, did you?) I noticed that the first teacher had replaced her chalkboard with a big screen that was a computer screen. She had a stylus to scroll through her notes. Very slick.

The next class had an overhead projector. I asked the teacher why he didn’t get a cool giant computer screen. He said the history department had gotten a grant, but not the English department.

Fast forward a few days: My daughter mentioned that the teachers aren’t giving out handouts they would like to give out because the school doesn’t have the budget for enough paper.

Does anybody else see a problem here?
