[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have to have papers at our school because students don't have their own devices. 700+ students in the school and 2 copiers. What a mess! I never send my copiers directly to the printer because they often get lost in some other teacher's printing job. If the printers break, it takes a day or two to get a repair person to fix them. Then we get scolded for having students copy from the board. We can't win. [/quote]

Have the teachers approached the PTA to see if PTA can help? I know--the school system should provide another copier or more and better printers. But if the need is there, and the system won't provide, see if PTA either will help directly or will start a campaign to get your school system to provide another one. I'm betting, given the sadly resigned tone of this whole thread, that your answer may be either the PTA won't care or central purchasing rules prohibit this kind of help. Both are probably true. But if parents were made aware of how the issue affects their kids day to day, they could at least squawk loudly to your bosses about it and have teachers' backs. And... If PTAs can pay for playground equipment (as they did at our ES), they should be made aware that things necessary to everyday education are lacking while the playground has shiny new stuff....
Unfortunately maybe teachers won't directly talk to PTAs like that out of fear principals will punish teachers for doing so. What a mess, indeed.[/quote]
