'He did not think I'd throw out 50 computers': School volunteer lets students take apart school computers with screwdrivers
The director of this school decided to do things as cheaply as possible.
It's no surprise that American schools are on a shoestring budget. Teachers often spend hundreds of their own dollars to provide a nice classroom for their kids. They want to do their very best, but they're frequently working with a two-digit budget. Even in my own school days, my high school had such a small budget for teachers that they'd photocopy like five papers, and we'd have to write our answers on notebook paper. They couldn't afford to let everyone have their own paper, so we just shared. It's a sorry state, and it seems like there's no improvements in sight.
This person had an experience working at a school that they'll surely never forget. They weren't even a paid employee! Instead, u/Personal_Lavishness was a volunteer. They were in charge of teaching the young people a computer course, but as the OP writes, the school "had little money for 'extras' like computers. The OP was even promised a salary once their computer class got off the ground, but that didn't happen.
You can check out this awesome story below. This person made the best of a bad situation, and their students will remember it for years to come! Next up, these people quit in the most dramatic ways---like one IT department who left en masse.
