[quote=Anonymous]From an Alexandria school newsletter, but from many years back:

" we equipped our 
music and first grade classrooms with audio enhancement systems; soon, our kindergarten and 
second grade classrooms will also have this equipment.  This system, which includes speakers set 
throughout the ceiling, a wireless microphone worn around the teacher’s neck, and wireless 
microphones passed among students, spreads sound evenly throughout the room so that students 
in the back can hear just a well as those sitting close to the teacher.  Research shows that 
classrooms with this system scored 10 -15 percent higher on state assessments than students in 
other classrooms.  English speakers of other languages (ESOL) recorded some of the greatest 
gains in test scores.  We are so pleased to have these valuable additions to instruction."

OMG, learn how to speak loudly! You are a professional public speaker as a teacher. But these are really necessary, as is the expense for them? But we are supposed to shell out more money than is necessary for the whole class supplies? Yes, WHY ARE we buying dry erase markers? That's not even something the kids are using, if you are going to talk about pooled supplies. That's for the teacher and the classroom!![/quote]
