Laptops for Teachers - who owns them.

[tech_guy]

We had this happen to us a couple of years ago and I paid a personal visit to get it back - on a Sunday morning - at 8am......

...the look on the guy's face was priceless.

If you were given a company car you wouldn't dream in stealing it after you have left the job so why do they steal the laptops? I thought that teachers became teachers because they cared about the education of the kids, and that they want to help educate the kids. They will be obstructing this if they steal laptops. They will be obstructing children’s education because the new teacher might not have a laptop or one that isn’t good enough for the job. If the school buys the new teacher a new laptop that money could have been spent somewhere else.

Most teachers are there for one thing.. to pay their mortgage!

Well, you can go over the head to the board of governors if you fancy it.

Well she still hasn't returned it as her new school won't give her a laptop. Have asked the acting head to look into it but am not holding my breath

[FN-GM]

Why don't you try to contact her new school headteacher and see what they can do

[richard]

Not allowed to.
