The Laptop Cart Fiasco: A Comedy of Errors in Education

Let me paint you a picture: it’s testing season at our school in sunny Arizona, and my shared laptop cart has vanished—commandeered for state exams. Flashback to the start of the year, when we were told to ration paper because, apparently, the district spent a fortune on Canvas. But here’s the kicker: we’re not even 1:1 with devices! Why are we still splitting carts? Our instructional coach dropped a bombshell—there was money for 12 new carts, but our principal let the deadline slip. Fast forward, I call him out in a meeting. He fumbles, our coach awkwardly confirms my story, and the principal looks like he wants to disappear. Now he’s gone, forced out mid-year. I’m left wondering: how are we supposed to teach like this? Have you ever felt so frustrated you could scream? What would you do if you were in my shoes? 🤦‍♂️🔥😅 #Education #SchoolLife #TechInClass #TeacherProblems
