The school is very old, and therefore it is in need of many updates. The ceiling leaks, the floors are cracked, and teachers are short on resources. Several classes are not able to supply proper materials because the school is unwilling to pay for updated books and software. Rather than shelling out thousands of dollars for Chromebooks, the school could have provided repairs and resources that would enrich the learning environment. Multiple teachers were denied updated textbooks and software that had been used in their classrooms as teaching tools for years. They were instructed to use the resources available on Google instead of the professional material they had relied on in previous years. For example, in my Computer Aided Design class, all of the software used in design had been removed. In the place of the professional software that is used by real engineers, students have to cope with using Google Drawings, which has no real engineering qualities and it is inadequate for teaching real world
