All through grade school we got technology grants for worthless products that only existed to line someones pocket on the governments dime. Keyboard word processors with 20 character lines that we were forced to use twice to learn how it works then forgotten. All sorts of random desktops that wre useful in 1/5 classes that had them. New "smart boards" every 3 years that never got used.

Meanwhile our civics book was literally 45 years olds. Oh but look a lighting grant to replace all our fixtures with the exact same fluorescent fixtures but a slighlty more efficient ballast, only $1,500 a piece! We can't afford an art class any more, but look we placed TVs in the corner ceiling of the room where it would be inconvient to display anything to students!
