Sexiness of technology

With the only special thing today being the return of Prick, [Welcome back, by the way] the subjects waiting in line on the right are finally being...processed. [into cheap, high fat meat loaf]


Technology is sexy. Still, perhaps learning to prioritize is something CSL should learn. You buy food, medicine, and pay your bills all BEFORE you head out to Futureshop and buy that 300$ ipod touch, huh? Everybody knows that! Except, you guessed it, the school!
Every year, everybody—staff and students —whine like whupped puppies about how our budget is freaking low, and that we're a public school low on the CSMB attention list, and that we're not a neighborhood school blablabla, in short, excuses galore. Every year, most parents will dish out an extra 50$ to the 'fondation CSL'. But as everybody knows, money at CSL suffers from ice disorder. (It disappears faster than ice in a sauna) Although this is slightly untrue now, as the 'fondation CSL' has supplied us with between 64 new chairs and 64 new desks (give or take a few), we still wonder, as perplexed as children stumbling on our parents in the middle of the act of love, why in the freaking world is there a goddamn 20000$, high tech, tactile projector thingymajig hanging on the wall of a sec 3 math classroom!? Aside from the obvious question of WTF did the wacky, mentally unstable sec 3s do to deserve that, why was the money spent there? It was definitely not on the very long wishlist of things CSL would like to acquire some way or other at last check.
It could have been spent on more pressing things that would benefit everybody, such as: (by priority, no less!)
  1. fixing/renovating the bathrooms
  2. new chairs
  3. new desks
  4. proper heating controls in classrooms
  5. projectors in classrooms
  6. dry boards instead of blackboards and chalk
  7. new computers
  8. Getting rid of the previous school's emblem embedded in the marble floor

It seems like the sec 3s whine a little about the amount of homework, petition, scream, and jump out of windows, and they immediately get a 20,000$ new toy complete with sound effects to encourage them to no longer whine/petition/scream/jump out of windows. One can imagine the nauseating, canned, "Good job, you did it!" they hear when they complete a task.

Even with the 20,000$, ahem, investment, (definition here), they still do everything mentioned above except for jumping out of windows.

  1. They also could have used the money to clean the mold off the cellings in the locker room.

  2. Heating+Air conditioning are the most important, then bathrooms, then mold, then computers. Fuck chairs, they're fine...
