[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have one working copier for a school of over 700 students.  It is never not in use.  Some days, it is broken and nobody can copy anything,  It usually takes a day or two to get the repair person to fix it.  Sometimes they need to get an spare part and that takes days.  Our district is in the red big time just like many city school districts around the country.  There is no way our school has money to buy printers for us.  Years ago, they bought each grade level a printer when the district has a bit of money.  Our principal asked us to make a wish list and printers (and another copier) were on the list so she bought them.  We got 2 ink cartridges per year paid for and the rest was up to us.  Since we no longer have textbooks, we make a lot of copies.  Even if we didn't buy it, [b]the school doesn't have any money to buy anything anymore.[/b]  Every year, we have hundreds of teachers laid off so no, there is no money for this.  Hard to believe this happens in America but I feel like I work in a 3rd world country most of the time anyway.[/quote]

The school doesn't have money to buy things, but you do? If you do, then great. More power to you.[/quote]

You do what you gotta do but no, I don't have this money to spend.  But ask any teacher, this is what we do.  My kids will be headed to high school soon so I'll have to start cutting back to afford the tuition.  [/quote]

I'm a teacher. My DW is a teacher. All of our colleagues are teachers. That is not what we do. You say the school doesn't have the money to make the purchases, so they don't. You say you don't have the money, but yet you spend $1,000+ on things the school should be providing. You are an enabler. The school doesn't have to provide if the employees are going to do it.
