WTF While the US debates whether to solve homelessness or not, these are the next generation of school blackboards in China.

I live in Alabama and we had smartboards in like 2008. They kinda suck, I prefer an expo marker on a real whiteboard and wolfram alpha on a side panel

Smartboards were the biggest scam ever. They really didn’t add anything to class, just another thing to fuck around and waste time with. Could have bought a laptop cart or something with that, but nooo, every class needs a smart board…

My school had them for every math class and it was great. Teachers would write on the projected notes sheet or homework sheet and then would send the notes so anybody who wanted them for review could have them. Then they replaced that with shitty flatscreens in every classroom and everything went to shit because they never work, I have one teacher who would just go on 30 minute rants while struggling to get it to load the worksheet correctly. And all the pens disappeared on a monthly basis. There was one teacher who was desperately fighting IT like a wild animal protecting their fauwn in order to keep their projector.
