[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids didn't have Promethean boards in K/1.  They had them in older elementary grades, though, and reported that the teachers loved them.

However, I don't understand how this relates to the PP's statement that the teachers' primary mode of interaction with their students is irritation.[/quote]

I can completely see how Promethean boards could benefit kids in the older elementary grades.  But, they are truly a huge waste of money for kids in K/1st grade.  There is really nothing that a teacher can do better with a Promethean board than she can do any other way.

I think the PP was commenting about teachers being irritated due to large class sizes, and possibly being frustrated by the technology not always working the way it's supposed to (which is what I've noticed often happens).

If the money for the boards came out of a different budget, that's fine.  I still feel like all these Promethean boards in the lower grades are just a waste.  There had to have been better uses for that money.
