Seriously, what the fuck is a smart board? I wasn't in school all that long ago and it was just friggin' chalk boards, projectors, and if we were lucky, Power Point.

I'd imagine it's like a huge fucking flatscreen t.v. that took the place of the board. Now teachers can eat their donuts and drink their irish coffee at their desk and not even have to move to teach the kids. They just load up a video from their laptop onto the screen from the comforts of their plush roll around chair, then go back to their smart phones while the kids throw shit at each other.

Little fucking monkeys.

Just find it ironic on how spoiled and technologically dependent this generation is. It's often sad to watch.

Except, ya know, the only reason I get this stuff is because our school used to be a NAIT campus.

Spending money to endorse our education is awful, I know.

A smart board is a device on which you can project a computer display and interact with it using electronic markers. Very useful.

lol I know, Hank. I'm just being an ass.

It's basically a white board with a projector, you dumb shit.

I know. These days they even use Minecraft to teach kids.

People can't learn without fun, technology, two fifteen minute breaks and an hour lunch.

Ah, the future. My past was so bleak. You must all live it up in your smart phones to make up for the older generations dismal upbringing.

O.o I see the lessons in manners have degraded over the years.

You are a very sad, bitter man.

Man smart boards sound awesome. It would beat the hell out of poorly photocopied overheads and teacher cave chalk writing by far.

We had one in the army. Moderately cool. Highly unnecessary.

Yeah, The few that I saw in my last few years of school were hardly ever used.

They're good for notes because the teacher can do a powerpoint or word doc for notes if their handwriting sucks, while still being able to draw diagrams and what not.

Also, videos.

In other words, some dude got arrested in the public library I'm at right now.

God this post is a mess. Lemme just point out two things.

1. You're not in an older generation, Gen X ended in the early 80s. You're a Millennial just like I am, deal with it.

2. When I was in public school, I had to write down pages upon pages of notes during class instead of actually practicing the material because printer ink wasn't in the school's budget. They couldn't afford fucking -printer ink-. Just because you hear a single instance of schools using high end technology doesn't mean every school around America is suddenly swimming in cash.

Texas spends too much money executing people to pay for ink for their school's printers.

So much fail, and faceplam in this quote.

I think Rick Perry's hair just eats all of our money.

How about we just go back to a family-centric education system.

Like, have your dad take you out at age 4 and teach you how to hunt.

Unless you're a girl, then get used to sewing and cooking.
