I hate fundraising... "lets get lots of other people to chip in so that I can do cool stuff/have cool things" what a fucking scam.

Just wait 6 months till Ipad 2 comes out. Then they can start fund raising all over again.
Most teachers have no clue when it comes to tech. back in the day when I was in High school and you could only get dial up a couple of students were running a FTP site from the school computer. Teachers had no idea.

Instead of the schools spending all that money on IPAD's, I think they should pay the teachers more.
Teachers are not paid very well compared to what a motivated individual can make working for a private company.. when you consider the amount of influence that teacher has, you would think that paying well and trying to attract brighter and more devoted teachers would be of some importance.
Just a quick brain dump, but I'm sure you get the idea.

I would prefer they used the money to hire more teachers, there's a correlation between classroom size and quality of education regardless of who the teacher is. Smaller classrooms allow more one-on-one time between the teacer and student.
Either way, almost every district is experiencing declinign enrollment and restricted budgets. Most districts are running major deficits this year especially the VSB.

Just a quick brain dump, but I'm sure you get the idea. | Teachers get one of the best pensions around to compensate..and I agree with the other poster..instead of increasing teacher wages they need to hire more teachers. I think it was just last year where if you didn't have more than 5 years of teaching at VSB you were very likely to lose your job. Quote:

I went to speak with one of my teachers before she retired few years ago and the increasing real estate in the area was to blame...basically kids in the area all grew up and the first time buyers/young family just couldn't afford the housing in the catchment.
